(Editor’s note: The Soviet Jewry dropout issue is currently under intensive discussion and analysis in the Jewish community throughout the world. A special committee of Israeli and American Jewish leaders, the Interorganizational Committee on Soviet Jewish Emigration headed by Max Fisher, is studying the situation in all its ramifications. Because of the importance of the issue, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency is publishing an article written by former Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban exclusively for the JTA.)
