Speaker. as part of the 1984 Congressional Call to Conscience Vigil for Soviet Jews. I would like to draw to your attention the case of Jewish refusenik. Yakov Gorodetsky. Born in 1946. Gorodetsky went on to become a mathematician. but was fired in 1982. after he applied for an exit visa. In January 1983. he was told by Soviet authorities to stop giving Hebrew lessons and writing letters of complaint to Soviet officials. In November 1983. the Soviet magazine Ogonek printed an article entitled. "Invitation to the Trap." which accuses Gorodetsky of disseminating antiSoviet literature and of being a Zionist agent.
