Elenas mother. sister. niece. and nephew all reside in Israel. Her mother. who is permanently hospitalized. lives with the hope of seeing her family reunited. Even though Soviet authorities in recent years have made progress in the resolution of family reunification cases. there are a number of cases. including Elenas that demand action. It is imperative that Congress continue to bring attention to cases such as Elenas in an effort to encourage compliance by all the signatories to the provisions of the Helsinki final act and the Madrid concluding document. Included for the record is the text of the letter I am sending to General Secretary Gorbachev requesling Elenas release from the Soviet Union.
