The Slepaks will continue their fast for 17 days. representing the 17 years of refusal. Mr. Slepaks only crime is that he has given direction. spirit. and soul to the Jewish immigration movement in the Soviet Union. I would also like to take this opportunity to ask my colleagues to join supporters of human rights for Soviet Jewry from around the country in a National Freedom Seder for Soviet Jews on Tuesday.
