We are one of the few nations on this Earth whose citizens are guaranteed the right of selfdetermination. which I fear we all too often take for granted. Refuseniks of the Soviet Union. such as Galda Levina. do not know what this rare ability is like. but they do know that it is something for which they will fight with every ounce of strength they possess. This dretmn of freedom which is held by all the Soviet Jewry is that which has led them this far in their quest for emigration rights to Israel. We are keeping this vigil in the United States in remembrance of their courage and fortitude against a government that holds them captive. though they have committed no grievous act. It is my fervent hope for the future that these people we are supporting and praising today will soon know that security we have as free citizens.
