Dear Mr. Gates,
The Student Coalition for Soviet Jewry (SCSJ)
was founded in response to the arrest of Anatoly
Shcharansky of Moscow on March 15, 1977. Thirteen
undergraduates from Brandeis University bought bus
tickets to Washington, D.C. to discuss with their
Congresspeople and other Federal Agencies the
Shcharansky case and others like it in order to get
the government actively involved in the issue of
Soviet Jewry.
That initial lobbying effort has become an
annual event involving students in colleges across
the U.S. The SCSJ Twelfth Annual Washington Lobby
for Soviet Jewry (1988) will include approximately
800 student lobbyists from 36 states and 160 con-
gressional districts. Because of our large number
of students, we are able to expand our lobbying
efforts to reach many Federal agencies and embassies.
We hope that your office will be able to take
some time on February 25th to meet with students
to discuss the vital issue of Soviet Jewry. Please
notify us at the National Lobby Coordinating Center
at Brandeis University as soon as possible to
schedule an appointment for the 25th.
