Mr. President. among the many wellknown cases of Jews desperately seeking to leave the Soviet Union. the plight of Valery Panov is particularly tragic. The great ballet artist has been subjected to arrest. intimidation. harassment. and loss of his job since he and his ballerina wife applied for exit visas to go to Israel a year ago. This is an all too familiar script in the Soviet Union today. In Panovs case not only is he being denied his freedom. but the entire world is being denied his artistry. Both Panovs considerable talents and his personal resolve to be free are weakening under the strain of the brutal repression being inflicted upon him.
