While their reunion culminated their 12.year struggle to live together in freedom in their homeland. Israel. they have not given up the struggle for their Soviet brethren. We read of the remarkable spirit of defiance which sustained Anatoly in the Soviet gulag in his struggle for human rights and for his right to emigrate to be reunited with his wife in Israel. Mr. Speaker. if Anatoly had the great courage to speak up for his rights while under the grip of Soviet repression. is it not our duty. here in the land of the free. to speak up for Soviet Jewry. for the prisoners of conscience. for the refuseniks. and for thousands of Jews who want to leave the Soviet Union?
