Zelichenok is a teacher of Hebrew and as a result he has been harassed by the KGB and his books have been confiscated. Not only are the Zelichenoks denied the right to live in the country of their choice. but they are not allowed to live as Jews within the country where they are forced to remain. Mr. Speaker. I call upon the leaders of the Soviet Union to allow the Zelichenoks to emigrate. The Congress will not forget the Zelichenoks and the other refuseniks which we have adopted and we will not waiver in our commitment to Soviet Jewry and will continue to be the voice for those that are allowed no voice.e
