President Johnson joined the meeting and gave what was de¬ scribed as a "sympathetic recep¬ tion" to a report on the resolution adopted at the conference on Sov¬ iet Jewry.

On the following day, the same delegation met with Secretary Rusk and with Assistant Secretaries of State William Tyler (European Affairs) and Harlan'Cleveland (In¬ ternational Organizations). After the State Department meeting, Lewis H. Weinsteln, chairman of the Conference of Presidents ot Major Jewish Organizations, who was spokesman, told newsmen that the presentation won a "very sym¬ pathetic reception" and that the delegation was very pleased with the mood of the "full discussion" which took place.
At the regular State Department briefing tor correspondents, depart¬ ment spokesman Richard PhiUipps issued a statement indicating that Rusk was giving consideration to suggestions presented by the Jew¬ ish delegation. The group submitted to the State Department and to the White House the resolutions adopted at the conference.
The State Department statement declared: "The Secretary ot State met this morning with representa¬ tives of the American Jewish Con¬ ference on Soviet Jewry and recei¬ ved with appreciation the state¬ ments and resolutions adopted by the Conference and conveyed to him in the meeting this morning.
"At the meeting this morning, Secretary Rusk took occasion to reaffirm the concern expressed by Mrs. Marietta Tree, U.S. Repre¬ sentative at the United Nations Human Rights Commission, that anti Semitism is used by some members of the United Nations to turn groups against each other, and to deprive Jewish minorities of re¬ ligious and cullui'al heritage which makes this group unique. He con¬
firmed the proposal made by Mrs. Tree that the UN members pledge themselves to eradicate anti-Semit¬ ism in accordance with their obliga¬ tions under the UN Charter. The secretary indicated that he would consider further steps the U.S. might take to be helpful in this matter."
"Our action," the statement de¬ clared, "Is not to be considered in any way as an exacerbation of po¬ litical conflict between East and West. This is not a political issue, it is, rather, an issue ot the inte¬ gral survival of the religious and cultural lite of millions of mem¬ bers of the human family."
Attention of both the Senate and the House of Representatives was drawn to the situation . of Soviet Jewry, and to the conference in Washington. Several of the speeches aoL the conference were briefly summarized by members of Con¬ gress for the benefit of, their coll¬ eagues, and inserted in full in the Congressional Record, as were the resolutions.
