SOCIETY'
Washington (JTA) — Soviet
Jewry advocacy groups are
trying to convince the Clin-
ton administration and Con-
gress that now is not the
time to exempt Russia from
provisions of the 1974
Jackson-Vanik Amendment.
The administration is cur-
rently conducting an
interagency policy review of
the Cold War-era statute,
which links most- favored-
nation trade benefits for
Russia and other countries
to their emigration policies.
The review was ordered
after Russian President
Boris Yeltsin asked Presi-
dent Clinton at their summit
meeting in Vancouver
earlier last month to
remove • Jackson-Vanik
restrictions agains his
country permanently.
After the summit ended, a
jubilant _Mr. Yeltsin told
reporters that the two
leaders had "decided to do
away with the Jackson-
m Vanik Amendment."
But Mr. Clinton made
clear at the same news con-
ference that his administra-
tion would first have to
verify that there were no
longer any restrictions on
emigration from Russia.
Groups championing the
rights of Jews in the former
Soviet Union say conditions
in Russia are still prob-
lematic for some Jews seek-
ing to emigrate and that
there are still "refuseniks"
forbidden to leave for
various reasons.
These groups are also con-
cerned about the continuing
economic and political in-
stability in Russia. They
point out that Mr. Yeltsin's
standing is threatened by a
coalition of nationalists and
former Communists, many
of whom are anti-Semitic.
These groups do acknowl-
edge, however, that there
have been enormous
changes in Russia's emigra-
tion policy since Jackson-
Vanik was enacted in 1974.
In that year, just over
20,000 Jews were allowed to
leave what was then the
Soviet Union. In recent
years, though, emigration
has skyrocketed, reaching
close to 200,000 in 1990 and
1991.
In recognition of that pro-
gress, the United States has
granted the Russians one-
year waivers of the Jackson-
Vanik restrictions for the
past few years, with the
backing of most American
Jewish organizations.
What Mr. Yeltsin wants
now, though, is for Russia to
be removed permanently
from the list of countries to
which the amendment ap-
plies. That would require an
act of Congress, and most
Jewish groups believe that
now is not the time to take
such a step.
The National Conference
on Soviet Jewry, a coalition
representing the Jewish
organizational estab-
lishment, backs the ad-
ministration's overall re-
view of Cold War policies but
opposes taking Russia out of
the Jackson-Vanik review
process.
"The potential for collapse
of political institutions in
Russia, accompanied by
violent ethnic conflict, re-
quires a commitment by the
United States to support
democratic institutions, to
Conditions in

, promote economic develop-
ment and to foster the rec-
ognition of human rights,"
the group said in a state-
ment last month.
"The Jackson-Vanik
Amendment remains an
essential component of this
commitment," it said.
Likewise, the Union of
Councils for Soviet Jews, a
coalition of grass-roots
human rights groups,
argued in a statement issued
this week that "although
emigration is a de facto real-
ity, Russia is not in com-
pliance" with Jackson-
Vanik.
Pamela Cohen, the group's
national president, said that
the United States should not
change Russia's Jackson-
Vanik status until the Rus-
sians "get rid of the concept
of refuseniks" and other leg-
acies of the Cold War.
But one Jewish group, the
American Jewish Congress,
has come out in support of
exempting the Russians
from Jackson-Vanik.
