We are all familiar with the distressing record on human rights that the Soviet Union has compiled. One particular area which has not received great attention. but which I feel is very important. is that of divided spouses. Approximately 25 American citizens are deeply affected by the Soviet Governments refusal to grant exit visas to their Soviet spouses. Over the weekend I met with Mr. Simon Levin. who resides in my district and whose wife and son are living in Moscow. unable to emigrate. Mr. Levin had to emigrate shortly after he and his wife. Tamara Tretyakova were married in 1978. His case is the second longest outstanding divided marriage case.
