Speaker. I rise to express a feeling of frustration in the plight of the Kotlyar family. Soviet Jews whose repeat. ed appeals to emigrate from the Soviet Union have been denied. Although President Gorbachev has cleared the way for many exit visas to be granted. there are still countless families who have been denied the right to practice their religion freely and be reunited with loved ones. Mark Kotlyar is an engineer in Kiev who initially applied for an exit visa in 1977. The family was again denied in 1989. ostensibly due to Soviet claims that Mark had access to state secrets over 13 years ago. Upon graduation from the Moscow Physical and Technical Institute in 1972.
