Mr. President. I would like to speak today on behalf of an American citizen in the Soviet Union who has repeatedly been blocked from emigrating with his family. Abe Stolar is a familiar name to many of us in this Chamber who have worked on his behalf for several years. Abe Stolar. his wife Gita and son Michael have been trying to emigrate for over a decade. In 1975. they thought they had succeeded. That year. after working their way through the maze of regulations involved in the emigration process. the three members of the Stolar family were granted exit visas. Filled with anticipation. the Stolars sent all their belongings to Israel and relinquished their Soviet citizenship. They were actually on the plane to Israel when they.were suddenly called back and told they could not leave on the pretext that Gita had access to classified materials in her Job.
