Mr. Speaker. today I am sharing with all my colleagues the plite of David Vodovoz. David is one a growing number of Jews that hope and pray to cast off the yoke of oppression of the Soviet Union for a life of freedom and dignity. In clear violation of the Helsinki Agreement which the Soviets signed. David has repeatedly been denied permission to emigrate to Israel since 1972. The reason given for the refusal is his army service. which he completed over 10 years ago. In 1970. In October 1978. while driving to the center of town In Kishinev. he was stopped by the police who requested his papers.
