I am introducing a resolution on behalf of Irina McClellans persistent efforts to seek permission to come to the United States. On several occasions over the past 3 years. I have indicated my strong personal concern directly to Soviet officials both at their Embassy here in Washington and through our own representatives participating in the Helsinki Review Conference in Belgrade held in 1977. Moreover. representations were presented on Mrs. McClellans behalf at Vienna in June of this year during the signing of the SALT II treaty. Despite these actions and Mrs. McClellans status on the Department of States hardship familyreunification list. she has again been turned down by Soviet authorities in her latest application for an exit visa. Mr. President.
