There are many more cases such as these. They wait in hopeful silence for their cause to be known. We know that there are some 20.000 Russian Christians who have decided to risk the worst by sending their names. ages. and addresses to the Supreme Soviet asking for permission to emigrate. But to date. the attitude of our Government has been one of near silence. even passive acquiesence. That is why Senator BOREN and myself. along with many of our colleagues. have joined together in cosponsoring Senate Concurrent Resolutions 60 and 61. which focus on establishing a national effort to work for the release of these Christian dissidents.
