Due to his close association with the Israeli Research Center for Prisons, Psychprisons, and Forced Labor Concentration Camps of the USSR, and its director Avraham Shifrin, Schlossberg was able to follow closely the revelations about KAL 007, its landing and the survival of those aboard. The flow of this information began with the arrival in Israel of former Soviet military personnel, newly become citizens of Israel. It continued through the work of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations under the direction of ranking Minority Member, Senator Jesse Helms who pressured (successfully) Boris Yeltsin to release to the International Civil Aviation Organization, KAL 007’s “Black Boxes.”
