Through the efforts of Ben Charnys brother Leon and his daughter Anna. the public is increasingly aware of Dr. Charnys plight. But the Soviet authorities still refuse to grant him permission to emigrate. This is not a political issue. it is a humanitarian concern. It is shameful that Ben Charny has not been released. I take the occasion of Ben Charnys birthday to urge my colleagues to redouble their efforts to win his freedom and to urge Soviet authorities to grant him permission to emigrate. I can think of no better birthday present for Dr. Charny than an exit visa and a plane ride to freedom.
