Yet. Madam Speaker. Soviet authorities refuse this 77yearold woman permission to emigrate based on her alleged knowledge of state secrets from a Job from which she retired in 1976 and from an agency that has subsequently been banned by the Soviet Government. Surely. Madam Speaker. any information she may have had at her disposal and which was regarded as secret so many years ago can no longer be considered of any consequence. Next week Secretary of State Baker meets here in Washington with Soviet Foreign Minister Schevardnadze. Let us hope that the rights of peoples as well as the rights of individuals are advocated at that meeting and that Irina Voronkevich is given permission to emigrate.
