They have been trying to leave Russia for at least the last 8 years and are still being told that Victor possesses information vital to the state. This is a stale excuse and one that is not true. The Soviets simply do not want these two people to emigrateto be able to join their family in the United Statesunder the terms of the Helsinki agreement which officials of that country signed in August 1975. My efforts on behalf of Victor and Batsheva will continue until they are free to leave and come to this country and my district where their family resides. I know I want to meet these brave individuals and I hope I will be able to report to you that they were permitted visas before. the Vigil of 1981 begins.*
