Mr. Khaikin. who was then employed as a shipbuilding engineer in Leningrad. was notified that his knowledge of the industry would no longer be operational after a 5year period. He. therefore. waited until April 1971. before he and his family applied for exit visas to Israel. Mr. Khaikin was then discharged from his employment. and Mrs. Khaikin. a registered nurse. was also fired from her work. No visas were forthcoming to the Khaikins. and they were left unemployed since 1971. In 1973. after a full 5 years had elapsed from Mr. Khaikins original inquiry in 1968. and 2 years following his first application for the exit visas to Israel. Mr. Khaikan again applied for exit visas for the family and again these were refused. In March 1974. Mr. Khaikin again applied for these visas. and again was refused. In May 1974. the oldest Khaikin child. Fira. was finally issued an exit visa for herself only and was instructed to leave the Soviet Union. There is no legitimate reason why Mr. and Mrs. Khaikin and their other two children are being refused exit visas to leave for Israel. They are most anxious to keep their family intact. and should be allowed to leave together for Israel without any further delay. Even by the most stringent standards. this family is fully eligible for emigration. Mr. Khaikin has recently applied a final time for the exit visas. and was notified that he would have an answer in July of this year. To this day. he has not received this answer. The families and children of Temple Isaiah have taken their adopted family to their hearts. and have done everything in their power to help this family and to encourage them in their efforts.
