I also think that this step is a continuation of my many years of speaking out in defense of the right to freely choose ones country of residence. the lack of which in our country leads to many tragedies. I am counting on your help. We cannot let this familys continuing tragedy pass without at least voicing our strong indignation to the Soviets. I respectfully encourage my colleagues to write letters of protest to Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev and Ambassador Dobrynin about their Governments refusal of an exit visa for Liza Alekseyeva. All possible pressure must be brought to bear so that Liza and Aleksei can be reunited. I cannot stress the seriousness of this situation enough.
