I went at the urging of two college students. David Harberg and Sylvia Mayers. About a year ago they had just returned from the Soviet Union after visiting with family by the name of Feinberg. a refusenik family that has been trying to emigrate from the Soviet Union since 1979. They were so overwhelmed by this family that they made a beeline to my office upon returning from the Soviet Union. They urged me to adopt the Feinbergs and help the Feinbergs to emigrate from the Soviet Union. I agreed to do so. and I did the things that most of the Members here do to try to urge the Soviet Union to open their emigration policy and bring human rights especially to the Soviet Jewry. That was not good enough. David Harberg and Sylvia Mayers went back to my home town.
