Therefore. Mr. President. to illustrate the potential problem: Should a family of fourboth parents with advanced degrees and their two childrenwish to emigrate. it could cost them up to 7.400 rubles. Since they could not remove more than 500 rubles a month from the bank. it would take a minimum of 15 months to set aside enough money to afford to emigrate. And that. Mr. President. does not constitute free emigration to this Senator. It would not constitute free emigration as defined in the Vienna concluding document on human rights. by which the Soviets agreed to abide. As a former cochairman of the Congressional Call to Conscience for Soviet Jews. I know all too well the enormous roadblocks facing Soviet Jews and others who wish to emigrate. Their plight continues. The number of refuseniks is increasing.
