Mr. Speaker. I rise today to bring attention to the urgent and critical situation facing Benjamin Charny. a 49yearold refusnik in the Soviet Union who. in the prime of his life. is battling courageously against cancer. while fighting for his freedom to emigrate from the Soviet Union. Mr. Speaker. the circumstances of Benjamin Charnys life provide more than enough evidence for any civilized and compassionate nation to justify granting his request to emigrate. He and his wife currently live alone in the Soviet Union. His only daughter and grandchild. as well as his only brother. whom he has not seen in 8 years. all live in the West.
