Mr. Speaker. as a member of the Congressional Coalition on Soviet Jewry. I would like to take this opportunity to call my colleagues attention to the plight of Esfir A. Lirtsman. Mrs. Lirtsman. along with her sons. have repeatedly sought permission for her to emigrate from the Soviet Union in order to join her children and grandchildren abroad. Twentyone members of Mrs. Lirtsmans family live in the United States and Israel. Only Mrs. Lirtsman. two sons. and three grandchildren. remain in the Soviet Union. Since Mrs. Lirtsman is 77 the years old and In bad health. her situation is even more urgent.
