Throughout the years of refusal. Mark and Svetlana have remained active members of the refusenik community in Moscow. On several occasions they have been detained. harassed. and beaten. Authorities in Moscow have told the family that the granting of their exit visas is "contingent on further international developments." I urge my colleagues to join with me and call upon Secretary Gorbachev to allow the Terlitskys to emigrate. We. as Americans. must continue to press the Soviet Union for real. not rhetorical. changes to improve conditions for Soviet Jews. Our continued vigilance is necessary to insure the enforcement of basic human rights.
