Mr. Speaker. I rise today to draw my colleagues attention to yet another case of oppression in the Soviet Union. The case is that of Samuel Rombe. a Jew who has been denied permission to emigrate from the Soviet Union. Since 1975. when he first applied for an emigration visa. his life has been plagued by numerous injustices inflicted upon him by the antiSemitic Soviet regime. Following his initial appeal for permission to emigrate to Israel. Mr. Rombe was fired from his prestigious position as a biologist in the field of reproduction. For no other reason than wanting to leave the U.S.S.R. for a place where he and his family could live peacefully as Jews. he was discriminated against and his career came to a halt.
