HONORABLE MR. HoYER: My name is Moisey Terlitsky. In October 1976 my family and I were refused permission to emigrate to Israel for reasons of state security. This reason was not specifically mentioned when I later. after 1982. three times applied for permission to go to the USA where my brother Leonard Terlitsky and the sister of my wife Ninel Kredova lived since 1976 and 1974 respectively. I hoped that since January 1. 1987. the day when the new emigrational rules were put into foice. my family and me will have no obstacles to join our relatives in the USA and receive permission to leave. My mother Fanya Terlitsky is very ill and her application to join her son should be considered without a delay. I should also mention that in 1979 and 1981 I four times was received by deputy ministers of Internal Affairs who promised me soon resolution of our case. However in January 1987 OVIR. the Moscow visa office. again refused us permission and. again. with the reference to state security reasons. I am an architect and was working in the institute called MOSPROJECT 2 that was involved in design and building of civil constructions. The administration of the institute does not consider me a bearer of a secret information but OVIR remained deaf to my requests to inquire the administration of the institute about my real involvements.
