The Brauns were united in a Soviet wedding ceremony in August 1984. The Soviets did not hinder their marriage. But since then. the Soviet Union has done everything to prevent the permanent union of Keith and Svetlana. It is profoundly ironic that the Brauns find themselves separated by the very ceremony they so fervently hoped would bring them together. The Soviets have repeatedly refused Svetlanas petitions to emigrate to the United States. Mr. President.
