SUBJECT: U.S. Policy on Soviet Refugees
An important foreign policy and humanitarian issue faces this
Administration as large numbers of Soviet citizens (Jews,
Armenians, Pentecostals, and others) apply for refugee status to
enter the United States. We need a comprehensive Administration
review of our policy with regard to Soviet emigration.
The Policy Coordinating Committee on Refugees should review our
policy on Soviet refugees, describing the situation we would like
to achieve at the end of one year and recommending options for our
refugee policy. Desired U.S. and Soviet actions should be
outlined, along with the necessary strategies to achieve these
actions. Budget implications and Congressional strategy, along
with political and diplomatic ramifications of the policy options
should be covered. This review should be completed by June 28,
1989, for consideration by the National Security Council.
