Mr. Speaker. I rise today to draw attention to the plight of Georgi Belitzky. a Lithuanian Jew who has been refused per. mission to leave the Soviet Union since 1981. Georgi Belitzky first applied for permission to emigrate to Israel In 1979. However. the Soviet Ministry of Defense has denied him permission to leave. claiming he has knowledge of state secrets. His wife and sons were allowed to emigrate to Israel 2 weeks after they submitted their applications. Prior to 1979. Georgi was an employee of the Institute of Mechanics. While employed by the institute. he assisted in military enterprises.
