Mr. Speaker. as part of this years Call to Conscience Vigil. I rise today to express my continuing concern for refusenik Dr. Viktor Brailovsky. For the past 6 years I have protested the Soviet Unions injustice to this man. For nearly twice that length of time. Dr. Brailovsky and his family have sought. unsuccessfully. to emigrate to Israel. Active in Jewish cultural and emigration movements since first applying to emigrate in 1972. Dr. Brallovsky and his wife Irina. together with their son and daughter. have been constantly and unjustly harassed by the Soviet Government. The doctor himself was arrested several times and spent 11 months in Jail before his final arrest in 1981 and subsequent sentencing to 5 years of internal exile.
