Dr. Vileshina. sits in my office in her mission. and I might say heroic mission. of bringing Pyatras here to the United States to be with her. These people are just a sample of 400.000 refuseniks wishing to emigrate from the Soviet Union. General Secretary Gorbachev has repeatedly promised to relax emigration policies for the refuseniks. but so far he has not fulfilled his promise. Time and again Soviet citizens are denied emigration. and some are penalized for requesting it. It is time we. the American people. ban together and insist that the Soviets. once and for all. commit to the Helsinki Final Act and allow all Soviets the freedom to emigrate if they wish to. I would like to appeal to the sense of fairness. justice. and compassion of those in the Soviet Government. It does not benefit your society to keep these people in the Soviet Union against their will.
