Norman Zabusky. a mathematician at the University of Pittsburgh. visited the Soviet Union last month as an exchange fellow of the National Academy of Sciences. While there he lectured fellow scientists in Kiev and Leningrad on subjects of mutual interest. The troubles for Professor Zabusky began when he accepted an invitation to speak to a group of Soviet refuseniks. Refuseniks. as most in this body are aware. are those Soviet citizens who. by virtue of their expressed desire to emigrate to Israel. face Governmentsanctioned discrimination. and. in some instances. Government repression. Many of you have met with refuseniks on your own trips to the Soviet Union. as have numerous scientists who visited that nation to exchange academic views.
