Washington (JTA) — Pres-
ident Bush's indication that
he is considering waiving
Jackson-Vanik Amendment
trade sanctions against the
Soviet Union before it enacts
promised legislation reform-
ing emigration policy has
caught Soviet Jewry ad-
vocacy groups by surprise.
The Union of Councils for
Soviet Jews announced its
opposition to the idea
minutes after Mr. Bush
mentioned the possibility
last week during a
White House news con-
ference on the Persian Gulf
crisis.
The National Conference
on Soviet Jewry is currently
reviewing its policy on a
waiver of the trade sanc-
tions, which would allow
U.S. agricultural products to
be sold to the Soviet Union
this winter, when severe
food shortages are expected.
Mr. Bush pointed out that
the Supreme Soviet has not
yet enacted the sweeping
emigration legislation that
he has continually insisted
must be adopted before he
waives sanctions contained
in the 1975 amendment,
which links most-favored-
nation trade benefits with
reforms of Soviet emigration
policy.
Adoption of pending
reform legislation "has not
taken place," Mr. Bush said.
"But some are saying that I
now have a clearer waiver
authority than I thought."
The president indicated he
has not yet made a decision.
An important factor in his

decision will be that "the ex-
odus of Soviet Jews from the
Soviet Union is high," Mr.
Bush said. Food aid for the
Soviet Union will be
discussed at a hearing
Wednesday of the House
Agricultural subcommittee
on wheat, soybeans and feed
grains, chaired by Rep. Dan
Glickman (D-Kan.). The Na-
tional Conference on Soviet
Jewry is scheduled to testify.
Before the hearing, the
National Conference is ex-
pected to conclude a review
of its policy on a Jackson-
Vanik waiver, said Martin
Wenick, its executive direc-
tor.
The umbrella group's
policy until now has been
that it would support a
waiver if the president
receives assurances from the
Soviet Union in four
categories.
These are a "sustained
level" of high emigration;
strict limits on the amount
of time potential emigrants
could be denied permission
to leave on the grounds of
access to state secrets; a
resolution of the "poor
relatives" problem, in which
exit visas are denied anyone
whose family members
refuse to sign waivers of fi-
nancial obligation; and pro-
gress on the cases of long-
term refuseniks.
The Union of Councils for
Soviet Jews, by contrast, has
opposed a Jackson-Vanik
waiver until emigration
reforms are codified and
given a chance to prove they
are working.
