Tiemken said that in February 1973, Marina was .forcibly taken from her home to a Soviet youth camp for "re- education." He added that she was able to sneak away to a phone to contact another refusnik who called her father. Tiemken rushed to the camp to see his daughter before being discovered by camp officials. He has not seen her since, but last had contact with his daughter in 1979. She re- portedly is living in Moscow with her mother, from whom Tiemken is divorced, but no information is avail- able on her whereabouts, according to Tiemken. He said he blames his ex-wife for his loss of contact with his daughter. "She helps the KGB (Soviet secret police). She is against my ideological view."

Tiemken said that Marina learned about Is- rael and Jewish life and studied Hebrew under his direction. Tiemken said that in con- junction with the Helsinki Accords, he can't even send his daughter an invitation to join him in Israel be- cause, he believes, the KGB has stopped her mail. "I would want to know if she's married, has children, what her husband's name is," he said in thickly ac- cented English. The Israeli Foreign Ministry made contact with the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs for him to help set up a meeting in Amsterdam with his daugh- ter. While in the U.S., under the sponsorship of the Union of Councils for Soviet Jewry and the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry, Tiemken hopes to publicize his daughter's, and for that matter his, plight. • "The Soviets are afraid of publicity," he said. Tiemken has already met with U.S. politicians, who, he said gave him a "very good reception." He said De- troit Congressman William Ford was interested in helping Tiemken estab- lish communication with his daughter. Tiemken's U.S. visit in- cludes stops in New York, Washington, Chicago, De- nver, Phoenix and San Francisco. He also is scheduled to attend an in- ternational chemistry sym- posium at the University of California at Davis.

To date, 450 schOlarships, totalling nearly $150,000, have been awarded to Bar - Ilan Un- viersity students alone.
