This interview is the reason I must oppose Bill Verity as Secretary of Commerce. Mr. President. one of my highest priorities has been to obtain the release of Soviet Jews and their emigration to Israel or elsewhere. I visited the Moscow Choral Synagogue in August 1983 to discuss the case of a number of Jewish refuseniks. I have adopted one family. the Khassins of Moscow. and been attacked in the Moscow Evening News for my activity on behalf of the Khassin family. Anatoly Scharansky has kept me informed about their progress in obtaining visas to Israel. So. from my own personal involvement. I have reviewed Bill Veritys record.
