I want to welcome 39 Soviet Jewish families who recently arrived in Prince Georges County to begin new lives outside the Soviet Union. This was the first group of emigrees to settle in Prince Georges County through the auspices of the United Jewish Appeal and with the assistance of Prince Georges County Executive Parris Glendening. Many of these families that are now settling in Prince Georges County were once refuseniks on whose behalf the Helsinki Commission sought the right to emigrate from the Soviet Union. Ms. Vanee Staunton of the Prince Georges Journal recently wrote of the families arrival here in our county and the outpouring of community support.
