Mr. Speaker. I join with my colleagues to bring to the attention of this Congress the sad plight faced by many families divided by Soviet emigration policies. The personal drama of the divided spouses issue has been brought home to me through the case of Andrei and Elizabeth Zhitkov. Elizabeth. an American citizen. met Andrei last fall while she was on a 4month study program in Leningrad. They were married in March of this year. They had planned to live together in the Soviet Union. but due to unforeseen problems Elizabeth was forced to return to the United States only 2 days after their wedding.
