I have once again this year joined the Congressional Call to Conscience Vigil to draw attention to the inhumanity of the Soviet Union toward its Jewish citizens. I would like to thank my colleague. Congressman NORMAN LENT of New York. for taking the time to organize this event. In the 3 years that I have participated in the Vigil I have been working on May 1M. 1982 behalf of Viacheslav Royak. a mathematician. and his family. who since 1977 have tried to emigrate to Israel. Over 512 years have passed since Slava. Irana. his wife. and their two daughters first applied for an exit visa. In addition. Slava has suffered recrimination upon recrimination because of his Jewish heritage.
