BR thanks Khrushchev for his letter concerning the situation in Cuba. He is glad that Khrushchev will not be provoked by American belligerence towards Cuba. BR appeals to Khrushchev to improve the situation of Jews in Soviet Union and to allow Jews to leave the Soviet Union to rejoin their families. BR considers the arms race a grave danger, and he was encouraged by Khrushchev's statements to Mr. Wilson urging a ban on the supply of conventional weapons to the Arab world.
