I think it only befitting that I once again call attention to my adopted Soviet refusenik. Issak Shkolnik. In 1972. Issak Shkolnik was denied permission to emigrate to Israel. He was subsequently charged with antiSoviet agitation and treason and sent to a labor camp for 7 years. His wife and daugther were allowed to emigrate to Israel in 1973. Since his release from the labor camp in 1979. Shkolnik has attempted. unsuccessfully. to obtain permission to Join his family in Israel. Last February. more than 100 Members of Congress Joined with me in writing to the Soviet Government on Shkolniks behalf.
