Speaker. I rise to pay tribute to refusenik Kim Fridman in honor of his 50th birthday which is today. Kim Fridman. a radio engineer living in Kiev. applied for permission to emigrate to Israel in 1972. He received his first refusal in January 1973 because of his alleged classified work in the Kiev radio plant where he had access to secret documents. He had left this plant in 1969 in anticipation of applying for permission to emigrate. A number of his colleagues who worked with him at the plant were given permission to emigrate some years ago. Between the years 197476. a monthly seminar on Jewish culture was conducted in his apartment. He also taught Hebrew.
