But the historical record of half a century of Communist rule in Russia teaches us how bleak such a prospect must be. Consequently we should welcome Solzhenitsyn and his family to our country. As America aPproaches her two hundredth anniversary as a refugee for freedomloving people from throughout the world it is especially appropriate that we offer them citizenship. Moreover. as my resolution states. we should also make clear to the Soviet Union and the world that in this Congress our paramount concern continues to be focused upon human freedom and thus we deprecate most vigorously the violation of basic human rights by the rulers in the Kremlin. If Solzhenitsyn should decide to come and live amongst the free people of the United States then we may be able to share in a much more direct and personal manner his tremendous insights into our times.
