FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1991
n the eve of the latest
U.S.-Soviet summit,
Jewish leaders last
week repeated a now-
familiar ritual.
A group led by Shoshana
Cardin, chair of National
Conference on Soviet Jewry,
as well as chair of the Con-
ference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish
Organizations, went to the
White House to make sure
that President Bush and his
top foreign policy officials
remember the plight of the
remaining Jews of the Soviet
Union during meetings this
week in Moscow.
But this time around there
was a discernible difference;
the Soviet Union is shedding
its Communist past, and
Soviet Jews continue to flee
in record numbers to Israel.
Last week's White House
trek was, in a curious kind of
way, a celebration of a
movement that has almost
fulfilled its purposes - an
outcome that, four years ago,
few participants in this
movement would have
predicted.
The group also included
Jess Hordes, Washington di-
rector for the Anti-
Defamation League, and Al
Moses, president of the
American Jewish Com-
mittee. The delegation met
with National Security Ad-
viser Brent Scowcroft.
"Before every bi-lateral
summit, we have met with
administration officials to
express our appreciation for
their unwavering support
for the cause of Soviet
Jews," Mrs. Cardin said.
"But we also wanted to ex-
press our concern that we
not assume that all that can
be done has been done. Even
with all the changes that
have taken place, we need to
keep in mind that there are
unresolved problems."
Some of those unresolved
problems involve the new
Soviet exit-entry law, which
codifies many of the moves
towards a more liberal
travel and emigration policy
that have taken place in the
past two years.
There are still loose ends
in the new law that the Jew-
ish leaders want President
Bush to address during his
meeting with Soviet Presi-
dent Mikhail Gorbachev,
Mrs. Cardin said.
"We expressed our concern
that the 'poor relatives' op-
tion for redress, which does
exist in the new law, has no
precedent in Soviet law,"
Mrs. Cardin said. "They
need to develop criteria for
how this will be applied.
There needs to be direction
for the courts about how to
adjudicate."
The Jewish delegation
urged the administration to
press the Soviets on provi-
sions of the new law that
state that a person can be
prohibited from emigrating
because of military obliga-
tions.
"There is a concern that
this must not be applied ar-
bitrarily," Mrs. Cardin said.
The group also discussed
the continuing rise of anti-
Semitism in the Soviet .

Union, and urged the presi-
dent - through Gen.
Scowcroft - to again press
the Soviet leader on this sub-
ject.
Mrs. Cardin said that the
delegation also suggested
that Mr. Bush go to Babi Yar
during his planned trip to
Kiev to add his voice to this
year's commemoration of the
victims of the massacre
there.
Gen. Scowcroft was "very
receptive to everything we
suggested," Mrs. Cardin
said.
The general was somewhat
less forthcoming when the
Jewish leaders brought up
the issue of U.S. loan guar-
antees to help Israel resettle
Soviet and Ethiopian Jews.
The influential National
Security Adviser, who has
generally been regarded
as an obstacle in the fight for
the badly needed loan guar-
antees, did not commit
himself or the administra-
tion to supporting the Israeli
request.
The meeting was held
under very different condi-
tions from previous White
House pre-summit sessions.
"Before, we were talking
about dealing with a highly
repressive society," Mrs.
Cardin said. "Now, we are
talking about a willingness
to assist the Soviet leader-
ship as they grope through
this politically unstable,
economically deficient socie-
ty. It was a very different
kind of meeting." ❑
