A telegram signed by 21 Senators asked General Secretary Gorbachev to intervene in this matter. I sent an urgent letter to Ambassador Dobrynin. Unfortunately. these efforts were to no avail. The Soviets were inflexible in refusing to grant Julia a visa. The Stolars ultimately did not use their exit visas. because Abe and Gita did not want Michael to leave his wife. and they did not want to leave Michael behind. I am very concerned about the uncertain future of the Stolars. particularly Abe and Gita who are quite elderly. Another family facing a similar plight is that of Sandra Gubin. an American citizen separated from her husband in the Soviet Union.
