However. when the House must still consider resolutions such as this one. bills which address such fundamental issues of human rights as allowing husbands and wives to be together. it is clear the Soviets have a long way to go in achieving real glasnost. Mr. Speaker. ironically. we consider this bill on a day when I have learned that the Soviets may at this very moment be creating another divided spouse case. Mrs. Arkad Beinus. who resides in my home State of Washington. has been separated for 13 years from her daughter. soninlaw. and grandson since she emigrated from the Soviet Union. The entire Washington State delegation has worked tirelessly to reunite this family. Now. over the weekend. we have received word that the Soviets may release the daughter.
