Gorbachev
Asks For Review
New York (JTA) — Soviet
President Mikhail Gor-
bachev has personally asked
the top prosecutor's office in
Moscow to review the case of
Dmitri Berman, a 26-year-
old-Jewish man who Soviet
Jewry advocates say was
falsely accused of the 1988
murder of a Moldavian
soldier.
Mr. Gorbachev intervened
at the request of Canadian
Jewish businessman Albert
Reichmann, who met with
him last week, according to
the Union of Councils for
Soviet Jews in Washington,
which quoted Soviet Foreign
Ministry spokesman Vitaly
Churkin.
The report was in-
dependently confirmed.
Mr. Berman has been stay-
ing at the Canadian Em-
bassy in Moscow since
January, after his case was
reopened following an ap-
peals court's dismissal of
charges against him.
Soviet Jewry groups, as
well as the U.S. State
Department, are giving the
case high priority and view-
ing it as an act of anti-
Semitic harassment.
The National Conference
on Soviet Jews has said that
"the evidence seems to be
fabricated against Berman."
And a State Department
source said Mr. Berman's
name had been raised with
the Soviets "at the highest
levels."
B'nai Brith Canada has
urged Canadian Prime Min-
ister Brian Mulroney to
press the Soviets on the
Berman case when the
prime minister meets with
Mr. Gorbachev in London
this week.

HTI N FOR D-MERC •
Washington (JTA) —
Legislation to prohibit the
U.S. government from
awarding contracts to for-
eign companies that comply
with the Arab League
boycott against Israel has
been introduced in the
Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives.
The bill, originated by Sen.
Timothy Wirth, D-Colo., and
Rep. Sam Gejdenson, D-
Conn., would require foreign
firms bidding on U.S.
government contracts to cer-
tify that they do not comply
with the Arab boycott.
Mr. Wirth and Mr. Gejden-
son said the Arab boycott is
"pure poison" for the Middle
East peace process.
