It is incredible to me that these people are not allowed to leave the Soviet Union and are persecuted for their desire to leave. In spite of protests from 62 Members of Congress. Roman Fridman and his family have also been refused exit visas on many occasions. If our first efforts are unsuccessful in this area. we must not become discouraged. We will meet here again next year. if necessary. to reaffirm our strong belief that the Soviet Union must take positive action to provide for emigration along a more reasonable timetable consistent with the will of the Jewish people within the Soviet Union to leave that country. if they so desire. In the meantime. we must work constantly to provide for a consistent and firm reaction to the events that face us on a daytoday basis. We must keep in contact with those who need our help to provide them with a window on the world.
