 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Senate that the Soviet Union should not be considered as a possible participant in any conference concerning the Arab-Israeli conflict unless the Soviet Union has first: (1) re-established diplomatic relations with Israel at the ambassadorial level; (2) publicly re-affirmed its acceptance of specified United Nations resolutions concerning the recognition of Israel; (3) substantially increased and maintained the number of exit visas granted to Jewish individuals and families within the Soviet Union who have applied for emigration to Israel.

States that if such conditions are met, Soviet participation shall require the approval and joint invitation of the Governments of Egypt, Israel, and Jordan.
