Recently. after cosigning a statement of intent to stage a peaceful demonstration with three other refusenik families. hospital space miraculously became available. However. because of the aggravated state of the disease. the Soviet prognosis is double amputation. Here in -the West an alternative treatment exists.

Unfortunately. it is not a fair or even rational system which will decide the fate of this family. it is the arbitrary and unjust Soviet bureaucracy to which they and we must appeal. Currently.
