Mr. President. on October 27. the friends and family of Benjamin Charny gathered in Washington to observe his 50th birthdayalthough no true celebration will be possible until Benjamin and his wife. Yadviga. are permitted to emigrate from the Soviet Union and join their family here in the United States. Benjamin Charny is a mathematician who worked on various scientific projects more than 16 years ago. His repeated requests over the last 82 years to emigrate and join his daughter. granddaughter and brother in the United States have been denied on the basis of that "secret" work. This story is not an uncommon one. However. what makes Benjamins case more urgent is that he suffers from cancer and a serious heart condition.
