Mr. President. I rise today on behalf of all the divided spouses who have been refused permission to emigrate from the Soviet Union and join their loved ones in the West. The needless suffering of United States spouses divided from their husbands or wives in the Soviet Union continues to offend the sensibilities of concerned Americans. I am very pleased that Victor Faermark has been granted permission to emigrate from the Soviet Union and join his wife Andrea in the West. This truly is a triumph for all who work to secure the human rights of those whose basic rights have been denied. However. the unnecessary suffering and pain that Andrea and Victor have endured can not be dismissed.
