Last August. I again traveled to the Soviet Union with several colleagues from the Senate. A major part of that trip was the meetings we had with Jewish refuseniks. people denied permission to emigrate from the Soviet Union to Israel or other countries. a denial made in the face of Soviet commitments to family reunification and freedom of emigration in the Helsinki Final Act. Perhaps the most moving event for me personally during that trip was a meeting with a group of Jewish refuseniks in the city of Leningrad. That meeting went on into the early hours of the morning.
