citizens from meeting with
tourists, Singer said.
Singer said that the UCSJ will
continue to encourage Americans
to visit the Soviet Union and meet
with Jews there. But she stressed
that they should go there in-
formed and suggested one way of
doing it is read some of the books
by American journalists who have
worked in Moscow.
Singer rejected the view in
some quarters that American
Jewry's support for the Soviet
Union Jewish movement has
slackened. She proudly told the
JTA that the UCSJ has grown
from a half dozen councils 15
years ago to "twice chai," 36 coun-
cils.
The UCSJ's goal of "freedom of
Soviet Jews" will still be a long
struggle, Singer acknowledged.
She said as the Soviets became
harsher they seek to satisfy the
West with "a little," allowing one
family to emigrate or giving
someone a lesser sentence.
Singer said the UCSJ will con-
tinue to work for the "repatria-
tion" of all Jews who want to go to
Israel," the reunification of
families and eventually free
emigration.
Singer was succeeded as
president by Morey Schapira, of
San Francisco, head of the Bay
Area Council for Soviet Jews.
Singer will continue as liaison to
-=:ih.e government as well as chair-
person of the UCSJ's advisory
board and as a member of the
Secretariat of the International
Parliamentary Group of Human
-) Rights in the Soviet Union which
seeks to get other Western coun-
tries to join in with the U.S. on
'behalf of Soviet Jews.
Singer shocked UCSJ members
attending the meeting from
across the country when she re-
vealed that the latest tactic of the
Soviet government is to claim
that American tourists are bring-
ing opium and other drugs to the
USSR for Jews to "sniff on Shab-
bat."
She received a promise from
Eliott Abrams, assistant secre-
tary of state for human rights and
humanitarian affairs, who was
present, that he would disclose
this to Secretary of State George
'-- Shultz so that he can bring it up
when he meets with Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko at the United Nations in
I New York next Wednesday.
‘r Singer said that she hopes that
whoever is elected President, the
U.S. government will continue to
raise these human rights issues
,-,vith the Soviet Union.
The latest canard is part of the
Soviet Union's continuing effort
to frighten Jews and other Soviet
