Mr. Speaker. the inhumane treatment and continual harassment of Viacheslav Royak. a Jewish citizen of the U.S.S.R.. is a matter of grave concern to me and to all those who support the cause of human rights in the world. "Slava" Royak. a mathematician. his wife Irana. his two daughters. and Iranas father and aunt were refused the right to emigrate to Israel in July 1977. 7 months after their initial application. Refused on the grounds of "secrecy." Slavas only "crime" seems to be his Jewish heritage. At work he has been threatened and abused. has been denied his premiums of pay. and. under official encouragement. his whole section has turned against him.
