Mr. President. today. Senators BOREN. HATFIELD. DECONCINI. and I are introducing a bill to assist the seven Pentecostals living in the American Embassy in Moscow: Maria Chmykhalov and her son. Timofei. and the five members of the Peter Vashchenko family. Our legislation would issue these seven courageous people American visas and would allow them to be admitted to the United States for permanent residence. Today. June 27. 1980. marks the second anniversary of the Vashchenko and Chmykhalov families refuge in the American Embassy. Their 2year stay has been the culmination of their 18year struggle for freedom which began in 1962the time of the most violent antireligious campaign in the Soviet Union since the 1930s.
