Dear friend;

     I am in possession of a copy of a letter by a  mathematician
Reuben  Gurevic  who  is in the Soviet Union and is a Refusednik.
He asks us to help him to emigrate - "by any means  you  have  in
your  disposition."  His latest text is "Equational theory of po-
sitive numbers with exponentiation is decidable."  Because of his
application  to  emigrate, he has lost his job and has had diffi-
culties getting his work out of the U.S.S.R.

     Both to help him keep up with his work and to make it  clear
to  the Soviet Authorities that we know about him, please put him
on your mailing lists to receive any and all papers you and  your
colleagues have written especially in his area.  Please pass this
notice on to others who may not be connected to  any  bboard.   I
suggest  that all stuff be sent registered with return receipt to
make it harder for the Soviet authorities to not deliver the  ma-
terial.

     Reuben's address is

     Reuben Gurevic
     Maurice Thorez 33 Apt. 205
     Leningrad 194223
     U.S.S.R.


His telephone number is 5521363. Thank you.

Sincerely,
