I am extremely proud and honored to be a member of the 98th Congressional Class for Soviet Jewry and would like to take this opportunity to announce that I have "adopted" refusenik Yuli Kosharovsky. Yuli Kosharovsky is living a nightmare tragically common among Soviet Jews. In 1971. he lost his job as a radioelectronics engineer when his statecontrolled employer learned that Yuli had applied for a visa to Israel. In a manner typical of the oppressive Soviet policy toward Russian Jews. Soviet officials then rejected Yulis visa application on the grounds that he was a security risk. In 1980. Yulis security classification was removed. but he was again refused a visathis time because his invitation to Israel was not from a relative of the "first degree." Despite these setbacks.
