Rep. Riegle Calls Fairmark Family, Expresses U.S. Concern
Rep. Donald Riegle, co-
sponsor of the Mills-Vanik
Amendment, last Friday
called the Viktor Fairmark
family, Soviet Jews who are
seeking exit visas to Israel.
Rep. Riegel made the call
to Moscow from his office in
Flint. He was accompanied
by his wife Meredith repre-
sentatives of the Flint Jew-
ish Community Council and
the press—all of whom were
able to hear both side of the
conversation via a conference
phone setup.
The congressman told Mrs.
Fairmark, "I want you to
know we are with you." Mrs.
Fairmark told Riegle that
with the support of Ameri-
cans "We feel more encour-
aged." She also described,
in nearly faultless English,
the conditions under which
her family and others suffer
because they want to go to
Israel.
Rep. Riegle predicted con-
gressional approval for the
Mills-Vanik Bill, which would
extend favored-nation trade
status to the Soviet Union
only if the right of emigra-
tion is permitted to all. He
added, "I worry about per-
suading the White House"
about the importance of help-
ing the Soviet Jews emigrate
and said, "I think that's re-
grettable."
The congressman said he
he sees a growing concern
among Americans, and he
called emigration "a clear
issue of right and wrong."
He charged, too, that "in the
rush to establish trading re-
lationships, a lot are private
interest relationships, rather
than public. Speaking speci-
fically of wheat and soft
drink interests, he added
"The thrust for profits may
well override human issues."
Rep. Riegle said he hopes
Friday's call will make Flint
area residents more conscious
of the problem, help keep
up the Fairmarks' courage,
show the Russians the sup-
port Soviet Jews have in the
United States, reduce harass-
ment of the family and help
the Fairmarks get out of
Russia.
The Flint Jewish Com-
munity Council is starting a
campaign of telephone calls
and letters of support to the
Fairmarks. An earlier cam-
paign was credited with be-
ing at least one of the rea-
sons the Gregori Teitelbaum
family was allowed to go to
Israel.
On the telephone, Mrs.
Fairmark said a few Jews
are receiving permission to
leave, but they are not among
those who have been asking
for more than a year. "A
great number of people are
waiting for permission for
more than a year," she said.
"They are unemployed. Every
day they are under pressure
of authorities and life is
rather dangerous. Some are
sent to the army."
They can go to their syna-
gogue, she said, "but we're
not allowed to stay long. And
as long as we go there, the
Alice are watching. It's not
very pleasant." Youth meet-
ings are forbidden, she said.
When the Fairmarks first
asked for an exit visa in
November 1971, it was re-
fused on the basis that, as
a physical chemist, Fair-
mark's specialty was essen-
tial. But soon after, he was
fired and expelled from post-
graduate work, his wife said.
Fairmark has been arrest-
ed and beaten by the Soviet
police.
The Flint Jewish Com-
munity Council's leadership
development committee also
placed a call to Mr. and Mrs.
Fairmark at its meeting.
Mrs. Ronald Goldstein co-
chairman of the leadership
One's Own Labor
A man must not depend on
the work of his ancestors. If
a man does not do good in
this world, he cannot fall
back on the merit of his
fathers. No man will eat in
the Time-to-Come of his
father's works, but only of
his own.—Midrash Tehillim.
development committee, ex-
pressed to Mrs. Fairmark
the concerns of the people
of Flint and the U.S. over
their plight.
Mrs. Goldstein said that
this was just a beginning of
the committee's efforts in be-
half of the Fairmarks and
other Jews wishing to emi-
grate to Israel.
She stressed the need for
personal contact with the
Fairmarks whether by phone
or mail so that the Soviet
government is aware that
the Fairmarks are in touch
with the free world. Anyone
wishing to contact the Fair-
marks may do so, but care
must be taken not to include
any derogatory statements
about the Soviet government
she added.
Their address is: Viktor
Fairmark, Moscow, A-319,
Chezniak'hovs, Kogo 4a Apt.
30 (Phone No. 151-5804.)
