Mr. Speaker. I would like to express my concern for Elena Keiss Kuna who is seeking an exit visa from the Soviet Union so that she can be reunited with her relatives in Israel. Since her initial refusal in 1974. she has reapplied every 6 months to no avail. The Leningrad OVIR has continually denied her application. claiming she has knowledge of state secrets. However. Elena has not worked for more than 10 years. Furthermore. when she was employed in the Leninetz plant. her position involved no exposure to sensitive information. As a result of her application. Elena has been stigmatized as a refusenik and has been unable to find employment.
