President. today In Moscow. Qalya Genis celebrates her 45th birthday. It is appropriate that we in the United States pause on this occasion to remember her familys continuing struggle to emigrate from the Soviet Union. The Genis family submitted their first application to emigrate in 1976. At that time and ever since. they have been consistently denied exit visas because of a research position that Anatoly held until 1976. Anatoly and Galya are mathematicians. and Anatoly holds a doctorate degree from Moscow State University. Since submitting his first application to emigrate. Anatoly has been unable to find employment in his field. and he has had to take other Jobs to support his family. Despite Anatolys determined efforts. the Genis family lives in virtual poverty.
