I have personally visited these families. and it was one of the most extraordinary moments of my life when I was able to sit with them for a few minutes in our Embassy in Moscow and talk with them about their dreams for personal and religious freedom for themselves. for their children. and for their families as well as for all Pentecostal Christians and others in Russia who seek freedom of religion and personal freedom. I believe the case of the "Embassy Seven" is an extreme example of the length that individuals will go to seek that personal and religious freedom. They have been in the Embassy now. as I said. for 21/2 years. sacrificing their freedom and health to fight for permission to emigrate. The United States should be strong enough in its own right to act on this most unique case. In August of last year.
