Shcharansky in his cell at Chistopol Prison. but all reports are that he is gravely ill. Nevertheless. he spends his time imprisoned for the "crime" of wanting to leave the country. Mr. Speaker. there has been a great deal of speculation recently that the Soviets are clamping down on the emigration of Jews. There is some belief that with the serious problems that now exist between our countries. and with much of the world newly disgusted with Soviet imperialist policies. the Kremlin no longer feels an obligation to appease the West by allowing its citizens to emigrate. I hope this is not the case. But still. the world must take note.
