Gary Kaplan. of Tahoe City. married his Soviet wife. Elan Kaplan. in Moscow over 9 years ago. Elena has not yet been granted permission to emigrate. As a signatory of the Helsinki accords. the Soviet Union has an obligation to reunite divided families and married couples. It is hard to understand what reason there might be for the continued torment of these people who only wish to live a normal married life together. What possible threat could the reunification of these couples be to the Soviet state? I strongly urge the Soviet authorities to grant exit visas to Elena Kaplan and Leonid Lvovovich Sheyba without further delay.
