So it is tremendously heartwarming to hear the news that Vladimir Slepak will again be able to see his children whom he has not seen for 10 long years and to see his grandchildren whom he has never seen. This very courageous and articulate man with a very courageous and notwell wife has continued to lead the refuseniks in the Soviet Union. continued to provide them with support. continued to provide them with belief in their faith. belief in freedom. belief in their future. The fact that this wonderful man and his wife will be allowed to emigrate to Israel is one that I believe is very important and in which I take very. very deep personal belief and satisfaction. Now this does not mean that the problem of refuseniks in the Soviet Union is solved. it does not mean the Soviet Union has suddenly reformed. Much remains to be done. much remains to be done for the many thousands of Jewish refuseniks. of Christians. of others who want to leave the Soviet Union. who want to become a part of the world and who believe in freedom and exercise of religion.
