His release would significantly bolster the confidence of Soviet refuseniks and help to eliminate the intimidation and discrimination that Jewish refuseniks have suffered for so long. Mr. President. it is my intention to write to President Gorbachev and other appropriate Soviet authorities on behalf of Mark Kotlyar. He has been denied the right to emigrate for too long. It is my hope that the Soviet Government will not only look at Marks case favorably but also reevaluate their overall emigration policy. I believe that the United States Congress can make a significant impact on Soviet policy. I commend the Congressional Call to Conscience Vigil for its consistent effort in this regard.
