Solzhenitsyn. a Nobel prize winner.. has been the object of severe persecution and harassment by the Soviet Government for expressing his beliefs about the actions of that Government. In the event Mr. Solzhenitsyn applies for conditional entry to the United States under the provisions of section 203(a)(7) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. I request that your office consider this request as expeditiously as possible. I believe that the circumstances surrounding Mr. Solzhenitsyns situation bring him within the purview and intent of this section of the Immigration and Nationality Act. to offer entry into the United States to persons who have been forced to depart from a Communist country "because of persecution or fear of persecution on account of race. religion. or political opinion." With best wishes. Sincerely yours. JosHuA EILBEG.
