I am honored to be involved. once again. in the 1986 Congressional Call to Conscience for Soviet Jewry. Many of my colleagues are involved in this bipartisan struggle to gain awareness and recognition for those currently suffering in the Soviet Union. I. myself. have adopted Leonid and Ludmiila Volvosky in support of their efforts to emigrate to Israel. The Student Coalition For Soviet Jewry. which arranged my adoption of the Volvosky family. reports that Leonid has been harassed and detained by Soviet officials several times. as a result of his desire to emigrate to Israel. Leonid was arrested again last June and all attempts of his family and friends to gain his release have been denied by Soviet officials. Hopefully. the Call to Conscience will focus attention on the plight of Soviet Jews. like the Volvosky family.
