The mother of Simas Kudirka. who was born in Brooklyn. New York. in 1906. has also been registered as a United States citizen. and has been issued an American passport. At the present time. when our governments are cooperating to bring peace and understanding to our troubled world. it would be my hope that you would use your influence to inform your government of the views of the Members of Congress who have signed their name to this letter. We petition the Soviet Government to grant exit visas to Simas Kudirka. his mother. Mrs. Marija Kudirka Sulsklene. and Kudirkas wife and two children.
