In fact. the Soviet Union does not comply most of the time. This deplorable state of affairs must be rectified if. in fact. the Soviet Union is seriously supportive of preserving the spirit of the recent Geneva summit. Just prior to the Geneva summit meeting between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. a 15year Soviet Jewish refusenik and a former Prisioner of Conscience was finally allowed to emigrate to Israel. Dr. Mark Nashpitz. whom I adopted when I first was elected to Congress. was one of the fortunate few to be reunited with his family in Israel. That 1.139 individuals were allowed to emigrate in 1985. a slight increase over the previous year. was. however. miniscule. in advance in the plight for Soviet Jews. Over the past few weeks several. Soviet spouses. after many years of separation. were reunited with their families in the West.
