Mr. Speaker. for a number of years I have been participating in the congressional vigil to improve emigration opportunities for Soviet Jews. I would again like to bring to the attention of my colleagues the continued plight of the Beilin family. Mr. Yakov Beilin is trained as a forestry technician. He is married and has one son. Since 1974 the family has been repeatedly seeking permission to immigrate to Israel where Mr. Beilins elderly mother resides. Unfortunately. Yakov Beilin and his family have been repeatedly denied their request. Mr. Speaker. I hope the Soviet Union will exhibit respect for basic human rights and privileges. as guaranteed under the Soviet Constitution and the Helsinki accord.
