Mr. President. March 15 marks the third anniversary of Anatoly Shcharanskys imprisonment in the Soviet Union. Shcharanskys "crime" was his desire to go to Israel to join his wife Avital. He also worked on behalf of many of his countrymen who shared his desire to emigrate. I have a special concern for Shcharansky because I met with him in Moscow in June 1975. He was bright. articulate. and dedicated to his cause. It was only natural that he became a leader among the Soviet wouldbe emigres. Sadly. I suppose it was only natural that he would eventually become a target of attack by the Soviet regime.
