Mr. President. I rise today to urge my colleagues to participate in the Congressional Call to Conscience for Soviet Jews. Through the Call to Conscience. the Senate recognizes the continuing plight of Soviet refuseniks. One such tragic story that has been brought to my attention involves Gennady (Haskel) Weinstein. Gennady. a former physician. has been refused permission to emigrate to Israel. In July 1988. Gennady was falsely accused of murder and held for 5 months before he was allowed to see a lawyer. Gennady. who had been working in a state dispensary as a physician and narcotic specialist. allegedly murdered a drug addict.
