The Bogomolnys are refuseniks whose situation is made all the more poignant by the fact that Tanya is terminally ill. Her fondest wish is to be able to spend her final days in Israel. Mr. Bogomolny has the dubious distinction of being the longeststanding refusenikhe first applied for permission to emigrate in 1966. If after 20 years the Soviets will still not recognize Mr. Bogomolnys right to emigrate. they should at least allow him and his wife to leave on humanitarian grounds. We will continue to press the Soviet Government on this case. Another humanitarian issue of great concern to me is the reunification of divided spouses.
