The Senate is about to pass a companion bill. It is outrageous that it should take an act of Congress to extend an invitation for a recognized artist to perform. Even then there is no assurance that Feltsman will be permitted to attend his own concert. Vladimir Feltsman is a refusenik in the Soviet Union. Like so many other Jews. he applied for an exit visa for himself and his wife to allow them to emigrate to Israel. Like most other refuseniks. he found himself without employment and the subject of ostracism and harassment. But in Vladimirs case. the circumstances are much more dramatic.
