Lev Elbert went to Moscow in March and began a hunger strike. By the time that Secretary. of State Shultz arrived in Moscow. Lev was too weak to attend the seder at the U.S. Embassy. During their visit as part of the Speakers delegation. several of our colleagues visited Lev. I wish to express my deep appreciation for their willingness to make this expression of support for the Elberts right to emigrate. After 47 days. Lev Elbert ended his hunger strike when he was told that the familys case was being considered in the office of Interior Minister Alexander Vlasov.
