GENEVA (JTA) - the
United States and the Soviet
Union issued a joint settlement last week at the end of
a two-day summit between
President Reagan and Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev
which contained a one-and-a-
half line reference to human
rights and, by implication,
Jewish emigration. The
statement said that the two-
leaders "agreed on the
importance of resolving
humanitarian cases in the
spirit of cooperation."
American sources here
said Reagan and other members of the American delegation raised this subject on
several occasions. However
Secretary of State George
Shultz and other unidentified
American officials refused
to supply the slightest details
on the human rights issue,
causing speculation that the
Soviets must have been
highly sensitive to this subject. r
The only public mention of
the issue of Soviet Jewry was
during an impromptu
45-minute face-to-face
exchange between the Rev.
Jesse  Jackson  and
Gorbachev. The militant
civil rights leader, who also
addressed Gorbachev on a
number of other subjects,
pressed the reluctant Kremlin chief on the Soviet Jewry
issue/Gorbachev responded
by noting that "Jews are
part of the Soviet people,"
that they "are fine
people ... very talented
people" and that "the so-
called problem of Jews in the
Soviet Union does not exist."
