Mr. Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to state my strong support for Viktor Brailovsky. his wife. and their children in their attempt to emigrate from the Soviet Union to Israel. Their plight exemplifies the persecution of Soviet Jews and the problems they encounter in obtaining emigration visas from Israel. In October 1972. Viktor and Irina Brailovsky. both doctors of computer science. first applied for permission to leave the Soviet Union. In January 1973. their request was denied because the Government felt that Mrs. Brailovsky had had access to secret information as a computer scientist at Moscow University. After this refusal. the Brailovskys became involved with the Jewish emigration movement. and Dr. Brailovsky was an organizer of the Moscow Seminar of Jewish Scientists. In 1974.
