In addition. it places no time limit on the denial period. In the next section. article 8. it is clearly stated that citizens possessing State secrets cannot be denied travel abroad for more than 5 years. The language of article 7. however. provides Soviet authorities with an openended avenue for denying Soviet citizens permission to emigrate. Article 7. as currently drafted. appears to take us back to square one regarding the central issue of visa denials. I hope. therefore. that Chairman Laptev will provide us with a prompt and complete explanation for this apparently serious loophole in the proposed emigration law prior to formal codification currently scheduled for the end of May. Quite frankly. I am sick and tired of the behindthescene shenanigans of those who are trying to derail this nomination.
