The World - News from Jan. 31, 1985

A Soviet television program depicting Soviet Jews who wish to emigrate as traitors and Zionist conspirators was shown in a crowded U.S. Senate chamber to dramatize the need for increased pressure on Moscow to allow more Jews to leave. The 27-minute Soviet “documentary” seen on Leningrad TV last November was taped and apparently smuggled out of the Soviet Union for viewing at a meeting of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry. Speakers at the meeting included Sen. Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Rep. Dante B. Fascell (D-Fla.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
