Both firms must end such claims. FTC cited tests showing limited reductions and deemed the ads misleading. Spokesmen say ads are no longer used as industry ad cuts.

Kissinger Emigration Letter Sparks Soviet Trade Debates
Soviet officials caution on confirming a formal pact while noting pressure from Soviet readers. Kissinger testified December 3, denying any official U.S.-Soviet emigration deal, with Tass rebutting claims of rising emigration and urging noninterference in internal affairs as the trade bill faces passage. Emigration figures show a decline from about 35,000 Jews last year to an estimated 11,000 this year.
