Dear Vladimir,

	You are welcome to publish my paper or use it in any other way.  I
enclose a slightly improved copy (someone suggested a sentence about
residence restrictions as an additional impediment to labor mobility).  I
also put in something about what the workers have to offer the
intellectuals.  By all means send it to Grigoryants, but I already gave it
Kovalev and Bogorasz, who thereby got first rights to Soviet publication!
I hope Grigoryants will solicit more ``workers' correspondence'', assuming
he hasn't yet been scooped by the increased freedom of the official media.

	Incidentally, it seems to me that it would be worthwhile for him
to include some analytical articles as well as plain journalism.  The
official media still seem to have great inhibitions about publishing
free analysis.

	It seems to me that genuine trade unionism in so far as it was
allowed to exist has been a friend to democracy in Poland.  In so far
as I could understand their Russian, Kovalev and Bogorasz didn't find
the idea of collaboration between intellectuals and workers mistaken
or even unfamiliar.  Perhaps certain ideas are moving faster among
dissidents inside the Soviet Union than outside.

\closing
Best Regards,
