I would like to place in the RECORD an article by Anthony Lewis entitled "The Meaning of Torture" and an article by Marvine Howe concerning political prisoners in Brazil. Both appear in the May 30th issue of the New York Times. Mr. Lewis describes the tragic situation in Chile. Torture has become a pervasive practice of the Government to suppress dissent and punish those who supported the Allende government. Lewis notes that the United States has strongly supported the military government. offered no asylum to Chilean refugees. and said nothing about the murder and savagery which has been practiced. I share Mr. Lewis disquiet about our Governments silence and apparent indifference about torture and repression in Chile.
