I appeal to the Soviet authorities to allow him to remain at the Chistopol prison. I also ask that he be given the medical treatment he so desperately requires before any attempt is made to move him. Mr. President. we cannot allow ourselves to forget the gross injustices that this man has so courageously fought. The United State must intensify its pressure on the Soviet Union to gain the safe release of Mr. Shcharansky and allow him to emigrate to Israel. where his wife. Avital. now resides. I again urge President Carter to protest the incarceration of Anatoly Shcharansky at the highest possible levels of Government and in the strongest possible terms.
