Mr. Speaker. I was overjoyed to learn recently that the Boris Nikonov family has been allowed to emigrate from Moscow. The Nikonovs have friends who. until recently. lived in Aurora. a city in my district. Several Auroraarea residents wrote to me expressing their concern that the Nikonov family had not been allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union. I expressed my concern in this case in an April 5 letter to Soviet Secretary Brezhnev. Shortly after I sent the letter. the Nikonovs were asked to reapply for visas. They reapplied and were finally granted permission to emigrate. Mr. Speaker. the apparent successful conclusion of the Nikonov case has been most gratifying to me.
