Mr. Speaker. I would like to take a few minutes today to draw my colleagues attention to the plight of David and Mile Shreir and their son. Maxim. David and Mila first applied to emigrate from the Soviet Union in 1980. and their first and subsequent requests for emigration have all been denied. After the familys first application. David. a biologist with a doctor of science degree. was dismissed from his research position. and since that time he has been working at a job paying onefourth of his previous salary. His application also resulted in his expulsion from the Union of Writers. where he had been a member as a writer. poet. and translator.
