But we continue to hope. In April. Mr. Speaker. I sent another letter. this time addressed to Secretary General Gorbachev and signed by the entire New Jersey congressional delegation. via the delegation lead by Speaker JiM WRIGHT. Again. the Soviets gave assurances that this case would be reviewed. Mr. Speaker. the Soviets continue to deny the right of emigration for thousands every year. In the case of divided spouses the refusals have been repeated and excruciating. Husbands and wives are beginning their marriageseven the first decade of their marriages in some casesseparated by the bureaucratic entanglements of the Soviet system.
