The situation of separated families is of particular concern. as many of our constituents are in this tragic position. Among the thousands of separated families are two who are close to home for meLiya Orzhekhovsky. of Kiev. whose daughter lives in San Francisco. and Sofia Garina. whose husband lives in the San Francisco Bay area. I call upon President Reagan to urge Foreign Minister Gromyko to effect a dramatic increase in SovietJewish emigration. and the immediate release of separated families. including Orzhekhovsky and Garina. I have asked President Reagan to mention the name of Anatoly Shcharansky during his meeting with Foreign Minister Gromyko. Shcharansky has spent the last 8 years of his life in Soviet prisons and labor camps.
