continue to express our serious concerne about Soviet human
rights abuses and emigration policy.
We must make it clear
to the Soviets that their continued poor performance in
these areas will have a serious negative effect on any
effort to establish a more constructive bilateral relation-
ship, including our economic and commercial relations. (S)
Finally, the head of the U.S. delegation should state our
abhorrence of the senseless killing of Major Nicholson and
cite it as another example of a Soviet military response to
a situation which has a severe impact on our overall
relations. In this connection, we should reiterate our
belief that the Soviet Union should apologize for this
action and provide compensation to the Nicholson family.
Our economic relations with the Soviet Union cannot be
realistically isolated from other aspects of our overall
relationship. (S)
