whole suffers and Jews in
particular," she said. "I
pointed out that it was a
responsibility of leader-
ship."
Mr. Gorbachev did not re-
spond to her suggestion.
But several days later, at
ceremonies in Kiev marking
the 50th anniversary of the
Babi Yar massacre, a
spokesman for Mr. Gor-
bachev read a statement in
which the Soviet leader did
exactly what Mrs. Cardin
had suggested.
"Manifestations of anti-
Semitism that exist in our
everyday life play into the
hands of some reactionary
circles," Mr. Gorbachev said.
He also expressed regret at
the emigration of thousands
of Soviet Jews and condemn-
ed the "venomous sprouts of
anti-Semitism" that
characterized the Stalin
years.
Mrs. Cardin expressed sat-
isfaction at the Soviet
leader's statement.
"I was elated that, finally ,
there was a condemnation of
anti-Semitism and an ac-
knowledgement that it ex-
ists. from the top office in the
Soviet Union," she said.
"We can't begin to deal with
the problem until we ac-
knowledge it — and this was
an important first step."
Mrs. Cardin and Mr.
Wenick spent almost an
hour with the Soviet leader.
Other topics included
U.S.-Soviet relations, the
improving ties between
Moscow and Jerusalem and
the refuseniks still in the
Soviet Union. They also
discussed in detail NCSJ's
concerns about the new
Soviet exit-entry law, which
codifies recent changes in
Soviet emigration and travel
policies.
"We also reminded him
that we (NCSJ) had testified
in favor of Most Favored
Nation status for the Soviet
Union and for the
U.S.-Soviet trade agree-
ment," she said. "He ac-
•knowledged the positive role
we had played."
Mrs. Cardin indicated that
the Soviet president may see
the American Jewish com-
munity as a conduit for the
economic aid and in,
vestment that he des-
perately needs to keep the
Soviet economy from sliding
further into chaos.
"He is very interested in
investment from American
Jewish. businessmen, and he
said that explicitly," she
said. "I think he is inter-
ested in using the American
Jewish community to help
him solidify his relationship
with the United States. ❑
