Mr. Speaker. I wish to relate to my colleagues at this time the plight of a Russian Jew who languishes in a Soviet prison. His only true crime was a longing to overcome the repressive immigration policies of his country. Izrail Zalmanson is 26 years old. Instead of looking toward a bright future of building a career. marrying and raising a family. and using his active. creative mind to contribute to the betterment of the world community. Zalmanson can only anticipate the termination of his 8 year sentence. He has only the solitude of the prison walls of Poma No. 3/5. the sterile name of the state camp where he is being held.
