Mr. Speaker. I request the assistance of the House of Representatives on behalf of a Soviet refusenik family which has been waiting for permission to emigrate for over 15 years. Dr. Viktor Brailovsky. his wife. and their family first applied for permission to emigrate on March 10. 1972. They received the first official notification of their refusal in January 1973. Their youngest daughter. Dalia. born in 1974. has lived her entire life as a refusenik. Eleven years ago. in 1976. the Brailovskys requested an official explanation for their refusal. They were told that the Moscow State University had objected to Irinas departure due to her alleged access to secret information.
