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 .

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." ❑
