Mr. Speaker. in July I related to my colleagues the tragic story of the Yichil Kutchuks and their attempts to emigrate to Israel from the Soviet Union. The Kutchuks were to leave in April to join their son .in Israel. but 3 hours -before their scheduled departure their bags were confiscated by the police and .Mr. Kutchuk was arrested and imprisoned. For more than 3. months no one was allowed to visit Mr. Kutchuk and no formal charges were made. . Upon learning of this travesty of justice I wrote to the Soviet Embassy asking for an explanation and received a oneline reply stating that my letter had been referred to the proper Soviet authorities.
