Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. requesting that he intervene on behalf of Lev Elbert and his family. Tragically. Soviet officials have yet to respond in a positive manner. In light of the previously mentioned hunger strike. it is now particularly urgent that the Soviets immediately grant the Elberts exit visas. Mr. President. if all the talk we hear about Glasnost is to have any real meaning. then Soviet officials must grant the Elberts permission to emigrate. They must restore to the Elberts their right to emigrate as agreed to by the Soviet Union in various international agreements including the Helsinki accords.
