Mr. Speaker. as we observe the third congressional fast and prayer vigil for Soviet Jewry. I would like once again to bring my colleagues attention to the plight of Zina and Arkady Abranzon. In November 1980 the Abranzons. who had planned to apply for exit visas. were found guilty of the crime of possession of resources under Soviet law. Arkady Abranzon was sentenced to a prison term of 14 years. his wife. Zina. received a 6year sentence. I was delighted to learn recently that Zina has been released from prison and is now living with relatives in Odessa where her husband is still detained.
