Mr. Speaker. although consideration of the trade bill and the MillsVanik amendment has been temporarily postponed. we must continue to realize the plight of Soviet citizens who have applied for emigration permits and experienced great difficulty as a result of their applications. Consider the case of Dr. Benjamin Shapiro and his family. He is from Belgorod in the Ukraine. and until July 1972 taught chemistry at the University of Belgorod. In 1967. his entire family applied for emigration visas to Israel. Dr. Shapiros parents were permitted to leave. and departed for Israel with the assurance that their son. his wife and child would soon be issued permits.
