I have always fought to insure equality and freedom amongst all people. There are those less fortunate than ourselves in the Soviet Union who are treated as if they have no claim to any human rights whatsoever. I am referring specifically to the handling of Soviet Jews who seek to emigrate to Israel by the authorities in the U.S.S.R.-Larissa Zolotarevskaja and her husband Lev Faiman. Alexander Gagkayev and his family. and Gregory and Nataly Rozenstein are all victims of ongoing Soviet mistreatment. Since applying for and being denied visas. they have been removed from their jobs and homes and separated from their close friends and relatives. The outlook for their future is bleak indeed unless we. as Members of the House of Representatives. come to their aid. I urge my colleagues to join me once again in beseeching President Leonid Brezhnev to grant these people exit visas so that they will be able to live normal. happy. and productive lives in the country of their choosing.*
