Lev is still continuing with the hunger strike. however. Their case has been referred to Andrei Gromyko. the President of the Supreme Soviet. and we are awaiting word on any action that he may take. I have notified Mr. Gromyko of the concerns that so many Members of Congress have expressed about this case. The Elbert family clearly has the right to emigrate under the Helsinki Final Act. the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights. and Soviet emigration law. Accordingly. it is my sincere hope that Mr. Gromyko or other Soviet officials will act quickly to grant the Elberts an exit visa.
