Summit Meeting
Continued from preceding page
precedented exodus from the
Soviet Union required a "big
Israel."
The speech resulted in
mounting Arab pressure on
the Soviet Union to cut back
the number of Jews allowed
to leave for Israel. That
pressure played a major role
in the Soviets' decision to
ignore an agreement to pro-
vide direct flights from
Moscow to Israel several
months ago.
More ominous was Gor-
bachev's threat to choke off
the flow of Jews to Israel by
denying visas. Concern is
especially strong because of
the Soviet leader's growing
political instability — and
because of the dramatic rise
of anti-Semitism within the
Soviet Union.
On the domestic political
scene, events of the past few
months have made the jobs
of Soviet Jewry activists far
more complex.
"From a Capitol Hill
perspective, the nice thing
about the Soviet Jewry issue
was that it was like apple
pie," said a top aide to a Jew-
ish legislator. "It always
stood by itself; it never
engendered the kind of con-
troversy that Middle East
issues do. The fact that
Soviet Jewry is now en-
tangled with the morass in
the Middle East is a night-
mare for those of us on the
Hill who are concerned
about Soviet Jews."
The growing mingling of
the Soviet Jewry and the
Middle East issues may also
be stirring up the delicate
question of how many Jews
should be admitted to this
country as refugees.
Last year, changes in U.S.
immigration and refugee
policies made it more
difficult for Soviet Jews to
get into this country as refu-
gees, changes which com-
bined with the relaxation of
Soviet emigration policies to
produce the flood of emigres
to Israel. Since Shamir's
speech, Arab nations have
been applying strong
pressure on the United
States to open up new slots
to divert more Jews to this
country.
Six months ago, David
Harris, Washington repre-
sentative for the . American
Jewish committee, swam
against the tide and
predicted that the "numbers
issue" would come back to
complicate the new exodus.
Now, Harris looks like a
prophet as the numbers
question has become a bone
of contention in the Middle
East drama. And the reprise
of this issue may put Jewish
groups, who are concerned
about getting as many Jews
out of the Soviet Union as
possible, in a tough spot.
Two weeks ago, as part of
the furor surrounding the
shootings of Palestinian
workers in a Tel Aviv
suburb, the administration
danced around the issue of
whether this country was re-
sponding to Arab pressure to
take in more Soviet Jews as
a way of reducing the flow to
Israel.
In response to questions
from reporters, Secretary of
State James Baker indicated
that the president had talk-
ed to Egyptian president
Hosni Mubarak about the
influx of Soviet Jews to the
region.
