Mr. President. it pleases me greatly to learn today that Vladimir Slepak and his wife. Maria. have been granted permission to leave the Soviet Union and move to Israel. Each announcement of a dissident being allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union warms my heart and boosts my spirit to battle on in this struggle for freedom. The release of Vladimir and Maria Slepak. however. is rather special for me. While visiting the Soviet Union over 12 years ago. I met with Vladimir Slepak. From our lengthy conversation. I gained a sense of a Vladimir Slepaks perspective as a Jew in the Soviet Union.
