Yet. Mr. Speaker. the dreams. hope. and expectations remain for countless others: Ira Dashevsky pleads with Members of Congress and Soviet authorities to grant her ill and aging father permission to emigrate. to come to be with his daughter in the United States. Judith Ratner Bialy and her husband. Leonid. need medical attention yet their pleas go unheard in seeking that attention. Mark Terlitsky is denied permission to emigrate and not even told when to reapply. Ira and Lev Furman. with their young child. are unable to emigrate to Israel for alleged knowledge of state secrets. Ira and Lev have been waiting for more than 16 years. longer. indeed. than the existence of the Helsinki accords. Benjamin Charnyof whom we hear almost every time we rise to speakBenjamin Charny is suffering from cancer.
