Speaker. I join my colleagues today in support of House Resolution 269. This important resolution calls upon the Soviet Union to permit the emigration of Yuli Kosharovsky and his family to Israel. The history of Yuli Kosharovskys efforts to emigrate echo those of many Soviet Jews. In 1971. Yuli lost his job as a radio electronics engineer after his employers learned of his desire to emigrate to Israel. His wife. Inna. has been unable to find employment in her field. mathematics. following her studies at Moscow State University. As Viktor Brailovsky held seminars for refusniks who held jobs as scientists. so has Yuli Kosharovsky held seminars in his home for unemployed engineers who wish to emigrate. Yuli has also been teaching Hebrew in an attempt to continue the traditions of Jewish faith and culture in the Soviet Union. For this. his home has been searched. he has been constantly harassed. and his books and typewriter have been confiscated.
