LAO Washington (JTA) — The Reagan Administration has described as "flawed" the performance of the Soviet Union and the East Euro- pean countries in the area of human rights. "Although the record of compliance varied among the Eastern states, the per- formance was in general flawed in human rights and the humanitarian area," the State Department said in the 16th semi-annual re- port on the implementation of the Helsinki Act. The re- port also deals with the follow-up on Helsinki which ended in Madrid last fall. The report, which covers the period from Dec. 1, 1983, to March 31, 1984, was submitted by the State De- partment on behalf of President Reagan to Rep. Dante Fascell (D-Fla.), chairman of the Commis- sion on Security and Coop- eration in Europe (CSCE). The report documents the persecution which many Soviet citizens, including Nobel Prize winning scien- tist, Dr. Andrei Sakharov, have suffered for focusing attention and attempting to alleviate the violation of human rights in the Soviet Union. This report is an im- portant element in the U.S. government's effort to assess the progress and shortcomings in the Hel- sinki Act's goals of "strengthening security, expanding cooperation, building mutual confidence, and protecting human rights," a State Department spokesman stated when the report was transmitted. The report pointed out a few "bright spots." It stated that "For most of the CSCE participating states, the status of implementation over the current reporting period did.,not change sig- nificantly from earlier periods. "Some encouragement could be taken from pro- gress by Bulgaria in resolv- ing divided family cases, the continuing dialogue be- tween the Polish govern- ment and the Roman Catholic Church, a limited extension in U.S.- Czechoslovakian cultural relations, and an upsurge during the first three months of 1984 in the number of citizens allowed by the German Democratic Republic to emigrate. "The eastern govern- ments also generally com- plied with their undertak- ing to publish the Madrid Concluding Document. These relatively bright spots must be seen, how- ever, in the wider context of strict government control and limitations on political and.religious expression." The report stressed that "Continued deterioration of the Soviet Union's already poor record of compliance, however, gave greatest cause for concern. The Soviet authorities intro- duced further amendments to the legal code to strengthen their hand against independent forms of expression and to lend a fictitious air of due process to the ongoing campaign of repression against dissident elements. "Laws on treason and anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda were broadened. A new regula- tion introduced the concepts of 'service secret' aimed at even further inhibiting the free flow of information and ideas between Soviets and foreigners." The report added, "Soviet persecution of individuals who attempted to express themselves outside the framework of state- controlled organs continued apace in the period under review. Religious believers, prop- onents of greater cultural and political rights for ethnic minorities, peace ac- tivists, and human rights monitors were all subject to arrest and imprisonment. "Internationally-known human rights activists Sakharov, Yuri Orlov and Anatoly Shcharansky con- tinued to suffer varying de- grees of unjustified con- finement and persecution. Numerous less well-known figures were sentenced to terms in the notorious Soviet labor camp system. Soviet abuse of psychiatry also continued." Despite commitments under the Helsinki Final Act to facilitate family reunifications, the report charged that "the rate of emigration from the Soviet Union continued to decline below the disappointing figures of early 1983. The decrease in Jewish emigra- tion was accompanied by an increase in the level of offi- cial anti-Semitic prop- aganda." The final Madrid Con- cluding Document provides for another follow-up meet- ing in Vienna in November 1986. A series of supplementary meetings will also be held before then. Hearings begin on shift of U.S. Embassy in Israel Washington (JTA) — The Arab World would regard the moving of the U.S. Em- bassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as "the first step on the part of the United States" toward U.S. acceptance of the Israeli position on Jerusalem, ac- cording to Michael Arma- cost, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. Armacost was the first per- son to testify in hearings this week before the House Foreign Affairs Commit- tee's subcommittee on Mideast Affairs and Inter- national Operations. The Administration strongly opposes the pro- posal and has been trying to get Congress to defer a vote on the proposed legislation to move the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem until after the November elections. However, suppor- ters of the legislation warned the Reagan 4d- ministration at hearings that they intend to force a House vote by early August. Rep. Tom Lantos (D- Calif.), who originated the legislation in the House, and Rep. Daniel-Mica, (D- Fla.), chairman of the In- ternational Operations Subcommittee, Old Arma- ^ • • - cost that the bill most likely would be approved by the House Foreign Affairs Committee in late July and by the full House in early August. It is believed that a majority of members of Congress will support the bill to avoid alienating Jevhsh voters before the elections. If the legislation passes, President Reagan will have two options ,— vetoing the legislation or ignoring it on the grounds that Congress lacks the constitutional power to mandate the loca- tion of embassies.
