I do not know whether my letters have ever reached him or whether he is being denied permission to reply. I have also written twice to Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev on Lazar Kagans behalf. but have yet to receive any reply. I have attempted to convey to Secretary Gorbachev my bewilderment. dismay. and anger. and the anger of other Americans at his countrys emigration policies. apparently without success. To help focus attention on the refuseniks. my wife June. a member of Congressional Wives for Soviet Jewry traveled to London for the International Conference on Soviet Jewry. There. she added the story of Lazar Kagan to the thousands of others.
