...JEWISH EMIGRATION. I think the Jackson amendment, as a threat in the offing, has done a great deal of good in increasing the flow of Jews. But if it should become law, it would be counterproductive. The Soviets would pull in their belt [and do without Western technology and capital] before they'd let us tamper with their system...

Credits for inferior Soviet technology no longer amount to such an attractive deal. Iraq, the current epicenter of Soviet in fluence in the Middle East, is turning once again to the West for technology and investment. The country's biggest project, a $120 million deep-water terminal on the Persian Gulf, is being built by a Texas outfit and a West German company. A major expansion...
