President. I would like to draw my colleagues attention to the plight of Boris Chernobllsky. a Soviet refusenik and former prisonerofconscience. For 11 years Boris Chernobilsky. a 43yearold radio electronics engineer. has sought to emigrate from Moscow to Israel. Soviet authorities have refused to grant him an exit visa on the grounds that he had access to "state secrets." In truth. Boris Chernobilsky has been denied an exit visa as punishment for his courageous efforts to practice his religion and preserve his Jewish heritage. Chernobilsky. like the many thousands of refuseniks wanting to leave the Soviet Union. dreams of living with his family and friends in Israel. He and his wife Elena and their two children.
