Mr. President. in August 1978. I introduced House Concurrent Resolution 675. which called upon the Soviet Government to honor the Final Act of the Helsinki Accords and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and allow Ida Neudal to emigrate. The harassment and imprisonment by the Soviet Government of individuals. including Mrs. Nudel. who desire to emigrate. is in direct violation of fundamental human rights and in disregard of the spirit of the Final Act of the Helsinki Accords. I again implore my colleagues and President Carter to continue their protests and do all that is humanly possible to protect those individuals. especially Ida Nudel. who have so valiantly risked their lives in the name of freedom. justice. and human rights. We must uphold and encourage these rights for all those who aspire to obtain them. The United States must not forget those Soviet individuals who have been denied their right to freely emigrate or who are incarcerated for their political or religious beliefs.
