I take the opportunity offered by International Childrens Day to raise the case of a Soviet Jewish refusenik. Mr. Mikhail Shteinberg of Moscow. Mr. Shteinberg has been separated from his daughter. who lives in San Francisco. for 7 years and has been trying to join his daughter since 1980. Mr. Shteinbergs daughter suffers greatly from his absence. Today. in Moscow. groups of Soviet Jews are participating in a series of seminars to address the problems facing children of refuseniks. I invite my colleagues to join me in encouraging the Government of the Soviet Union to mark International Childrens Day by reuniting separated families and by allowing unrestricted emigration.
