Church Emigration Debate Colors Senator's Campaign Choice
Sen. Frank Church uses a Zionist forum to challenge Ford linked to U.S. pressure on the Soviet Union over Jewish emigration. World Zionist Organization data shows about 115000 Jews left since 1971 with a 1973 peak of 35000 and a 1974 Jackson Vanik amendment influence. Critics say Congress actions, not Ford, shifted emigration patterns and Church’s Brussels appearance signals a campaign tilt.
