I would like to express my appreciation to Senator ALAN CRANSTON and Senator JOHN HEINZ for cochairing this noble effort. There are 2 million Jews who reside in the Soviet Union. It is estimated that some 400.000 Jews in the Soviet Union are currently seeking the right to emigrate. I mention Dr. Vladimir Dashevsky as an example of the plight of the Soviet Jews. Dr. Dashevsky wishes to be reunited with his daughter In Israel. but has repeatedly been denied his exit visa since 1976. The reasons given for these refusals Is that Dr. Dashevsky has not fully demonstrated that he is free from any financial obligations.
