I believe the Congress action on the bill to some degree spurred the Soviets to release Dr. Gluzman from internal exile in Siberia last May. The bill I am introducing is revised slightly to reflect the fact that Dr. Gluzman is no longer a prisoner of conscience. but rather is a refusenik wishing only to emigrate to Israel with his family. I have followed Dr. Gluzmans case since coming to the Congress in 1978 and have the utmost respect for the enormous courage and dignity with which he has faced the repressive Soviet system that has punished him so harshly for upholding his personal code of ethics.
