To the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Sovier Union, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR—Comrade M. S. Gorbachev Available to Purchase

Dear Mikhail Sergeevich, Basing our remarks on events in our country and on discussions held between June and August of this year with a number of prominent foreign political figures, scholars and writers, we want to express in this letter (and, if possible, in person) our most serious apprehensions about what might happen in the next months and years if urgent measures are not taken to guarantee Jews safe residence in the USSR, unpoisoned by streams of ethnic insults, destruction of graveyards and direct threats of pogroms.
