One had great reason to hope and believe that with the demise of the Stalin regime the days of the reign of terror would have ceased. I would hope that the present leaders of the Soviet Government would realize the need to alter practices that give rise to distrust and apprehension. that they would take unto themselves the task of fulfilling the guarantees of the Soviet Constitution and those expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In my opinion. and I would venture in the opinion of all good people in the free world. they would best exemplify such a change of attitude by Immediately freeing all those who have been imprisoned because of their desires to emigrate. those whom we so often refer to as prisoners of conscience.
