Although he has been invited to study here in the United States at Brandeis University. the Soviet authorities have repeatedly denied him the required documentation to leave. I have contacted the State Department to check into Grigorys predicament and to urge the new Soviet leader. Mikhail Gorbachev. to reconsider the case of Grigory and to allow him to exercise the right to emigrate as he desires. I hope In this time of new leadership in the Soviet Union that the denial of the rights of Soviet Jews to emigrate will cease and that the errant policies of the past will be abandoned. I also hope that once again those who wish will be reunited with their families in Israel or simply be allowed to start a new life free from the ominous burden of discrimination be granted that wish.
