I urge both leaders to discuss the issue of human rights In the Soviet Union. Thousands of Soviet Jews are subjected to harassment. Intimidation. and often imprisonment in their attempts to emigrate from the Soviet Union. One such individual is Leonid Volvovsky. a prominent Jewish refusenik. who Is currently being tried for allegedly defaming the Soviet State. Mr. Volvovsky. who along with his wife and daughter applied for emigration to Israel in 1976. was arrested on June 26 for stating that there was antiSemitism In the Soviet Union. As cochairman of the Congressional Coalition on Soviet Jewry. Representative DEAN A.
