I appreciate the opportunity to join in this expression of our continued support for Soviet Jewry. I would like to thank the gentleman from Florida for his work in coordinating this special order. In the past year. many of you joined me in appeals on behalf of Lev and Inna Elbert of Kiev. I deeply appreciate your support for these efforts. Lev refused to report for reserve military service because this service could have been used as an excuse for refusing to allow him to emigrate in the future. As a result. he was sentenced to prison. Later. trumpedup drug charges were brought against him but were eventually dropped.
