In an interview before the address, Richard Maass, chairman of the American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry, said that more than two million Jews in Soviet Russia are being systematically deprived of their right to worship and are being harassed constantly. "There are only two or three official rabbis in all of Russia," Maass said, "and the Soviet government will not permit the training of any more. The youngest of the official rabbis is 70 years old." He said these rabbis are expected to serve between two million and three million Soviet Jews.

In any event, Disney will have more than 200 uniformed security guards patrolling the Disneyland-like theme park and the resort hotels, golf courses and campground. The Florida Highway Patrol has ordered an additional 20 troopers into the area to take care of the traffic tie-ups on Interstate 4, the only four-lane artery leading to the attraction, 20 miles southwest of Orlando.
