Speaker. the succession of Mikhail Gorbachev leaves an opportunity to challenge the Soviet Governments record on human rights. One example of the repression leveled by the Soviet Union against people attempting to exercise the basic and fundamental rights enumerated in the Helsinki accords is the plight of Soviet Jews. Statistics from the last 5 years reveal a crisis situation exists in terms of immigration by Soviet Jews. which is at a historically low rate. I have corresponded on a great number of occasions with Soviet officials. on behalf of Soviet Jews who desire to emigrate from the Soviet Union. In addition. I have been honored to adopt a refusenik by the name of Leonid Volvovsky.
