Speaker. the pain and suffering inflicted on the Jewish people who live in the Soviet Union today is reflected in the struggle of a family of refuseniks that I have adopted. Vladimir and Izolda Tufeld. Vladimir worked as an electronics engineer in a Moscow factory where he was given a security clearance. In 1973. he quit his job in anticipation of receiving an exit visa to Israel. But. instead of an exit visa. he received a denial to emigrate on the grounds that his job had given him access to vital secrets. In 1976. the Tufelds son. Igor. was arrested at a demonstration at the Soviet Supreme Court.
