Mr. Speaker. I join with my distinguished colleagues from Massachusetts and New York in calling the worlds attention to the tragic incarceration of Anatoly Shcharansky. Anatoly Shcharansky. perhaps more than any other Soviet dissident or refusenik. symbolizes the Soviet Unions refusal to abide by the Helsinki accords. From the beginning of his stated intention to emigrate to Israel. Shcharansky has suffered from the most blatant miscarriage of justice possible. The Soviets used every means at their disposal to harass Shcharansky and break his spirit. Although the Soviets have directed a carefully orchestrated campaign of harassment against Mr. Shcharansky. they have not succeeded in their efforts to destroy him.
