 Dear Colleague,


 On August 8th, 1985, the  Scientific Commitee  of the French  National
Council for the protection of the  rights of Soviet  Jews  launched its
first collection of signatures by computer networks in  favour of Roald
Zelichonok, Doctor of Sciences, computer specialist, author of numerous
publications and patents.

 Zelichonok, who had  been asking  to emigrate to Israel since 1978 and
teaching Hebrew to friends, was sentenced to three years in labour camp
on August 9th, 1985. Until recently  he was in camp in central Siberia.
Since  May 29th  he  has been  undergoing  a transfer to an other camp,
probably in Khazakstan. No news  has  been received from him since June
4th.

 Roald Zelichonok is in poor  health;  he  suffers from  serious kidney
troubles and we  know that  the transfers of  prisonners are made under
particularly trying conditions.  We hope you  will join  us in  signing
the following telegram:

 ======================================================================
 OUR COLLEAGUE ROALD ZELICHONOK WHOSE HEALTH  IS DEFICIENT LEFT CAMP ON
 MAY 29TH FOR TRANSFER.  WHERE IS HE?  IN WHAT  STATE OF HEALTH? PLEASE
 GIVE NEWS WITHOUT DELAY.
 ======================================================================

This  telegram will be sent to Mr Vlasov, Minister of Internal Affairs,
M.V.D., and Alexander Rekunkov, General Procurator of the USSR.


                  We wish to thank you in advance for your help
                  On behalf of the Commitee, Pr Yves Quere.
