Mr. President. today Is the 948th day that two families. the Vashchenkos and Chmykhalovs. have Ieen living in a 12by15foot room in the basement of the American Embassy in Moscow. They have tried and failed six times to receive official permission to emigrate from the U.S.S.R. Their situation seems hopeless. Yet today also marks the ninth day of freedom for the 52 former hostages of Iran. whom Americans proudly welcomed home after their grueling experience. Although the seven Russian Christians in the American Embassy do not face the constant danger that the 52 Americans faced in Iran. they hourly face the fear of being released into the hands of the KGB and losing their refuge at the American Embassy.
