Even though the Soviet Government still systematically denies Moisey employment. authorities recently arrested him on charges of parasitism. In 1978. Moisey served 15 days in jail for the same offense. His family now expects him to serve 2 years in prison. Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to participate this year with Andy Maguire and many of my colleagues in "The Spirit of Helsinki. Vigil 1980." It is my hope that the Soviet Government will grant emigration permission to Moisey Tongonoky and freedom to the remaining Soviet refuseniks and prisoners of conscience. It is also my hope that the Soviet leaders will eventually cease their callous disregard for human dig nity and liberty. 0
