Government and the American people to persuade the Soviet authorities that the case of Yuri Balovlenkov is important to themthat they care about the fate of a single human being. In numerous. letters and meetings with Soviet and American officials spanning several years. I have pointed to the provisions of the Helsinki accords as they relate to this case. The provisions state that governments will "deal in a positive and humanitarian spirit" toward family reunification. There has been little positive about the way Yuri Balovlenkov has been treated. While other members of the "divided families group" have been allowed to reunite. the decision on Balovlenkovs case has been endlessly delayed.
