Kissinger warns on emigration linked trade bill
Secretary of State Kissinger cautioned that passage of a Senate linked emigration measure would affect allied dependability on U.S. trade. The House amendment, sponsored by Mills and Vanik, faces intense lobbying and possible Senate action amid White House opposition to most favored nation status. In Moscow, four militant Jews were granted exit visas as Moscow signals toward U.S. concessions, with names including Arkady Shpilberg and Kirill Khenkin among others expected to receive visas this week.
