Speaker. as a participant in the 1984 Congressional Call to Conscience Vigil for Soviet Jews. I would like to call my colleagues attention to the plight of the Tarnopolsky family of Kharkov. The Tarnopolsky family. Yuri. Olga. and their 12yearold daughter Irina. originally applied to emigrate to Israel in June 1979. They have been refused permission for an exit visa several times and have been subject to great hardship and harassment. Yuri. an organic chemist. lost his professional standing in the scientific community and last March Yuri was arrested and charged with antiSoviet slander. Following the arrest of her father. young Irina corresponded with Yuri Andropov.
