Speaker. the treatment of the 2 million Jews in the Soviet Unionand especially of the thousands of "refuseniks"-continues to be a matter of concern for me. This sense of apprehension has been heightened in recent weeks because of the case of Dr. Viktor Brailovsky. a leading Russian refusenik who is editor of a Jewish cultural publication. Dr. Brailovsky and his family have been trying to get out of the Soviet Union since 1972. In a typical Soviet ploy. he was granted a visa in 1976. but his wife and children were denied it. So he remained. Brailovsky was jailed late last year. apparently for signing a document drafted by 200 refuseniks concerned about abuses of human rights in the Soviet Union.
