Mr. Speaker. as a participant in the 1985 Congressional Call to Conscience Vigil for Soviet Jews I would like to call my colleagues attention to the nightmare that Tatiana Zunshine has been living. Mrs. Zunshines husband. Zachar. has been imprisoned since March 6. 1984. for the simple reason that he desires to emigrate from the Soviet Union. The Zunshines first applied to emigrate in 1981. but were subsequently denied that right. Recently. however. life has become more difficult for Tatiana. She is struggling with Soviet authorities in an attempt to visit her husband in prison. After learning of her plans to go to Irkutsk for a chance to meet with her husband. who was soon to be transferred from the internal prison. the KGB denied her permission to leave Riga. for 2 weeks she was followed constantly by a team of KGB.
