Speaker. I join my colleagues today in calling attention to the plight of Mark and Svetlana Terlitsky. These two Soviet citizens. like so many others. have been denied permission to emigrate for no conceivable reason. The Terlitskys have been repeatedly told no since they first applied to emigrate over a decade ago. Mark and Svetlana do not share the renown of Andrei Sakharov or Anatoly Shcharansky. They are ordinary citizens. representative of thousands of others. who have gone through the bureaucracy and formalities required by the Soviet regime for emigration. Like most others. their requests are continually denied. They are denied freedom even though they have done nothing wrong.
