Mr. Speaker. as one of many concerned Members who have been participating for a number of years in this vigil to improve emigration for Soviet Jews. I would again like to bring to my colleagues attention the continued plight of the Beilin family. Mr. Yakov Beilin is a forestry technician who lives in a small Jewish community in Tula. Most of his family. eight aunts and uncles who previously lived in Vilna. were exterminated with their young children during World War II. In 1973. Mr. Beilins father died after a long illness. Before he died. his last stated wish was that his family move to Israel where his only sister resides.
