Mr. Speaker. I have introduced House Resolution 506. expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Soviet Union should allow Lev Shapiro. his wife. Elizaveta Shapiro. and their child to emigrate and rejoin Mr. Shapiros parents and other family members in Israel. The Shapiros are refuseniks. In 1975. they expressed their desire to leave the Soviet Union. From then on. they entered the peculiar halflife of nonpersons in a totalitarian regime. Lev Shapiro has also served a convenient role as a scapegoat. Branded as a traitor. a hooligan. a Zionist in the Soviet press. Lev Shapiro and his family have received the full attention of the KGB. the government informers. the harassers and ideologues. and all the other apparat of the Soviet Union and its party.
