For this reason. I am today introducing a joint resolution urging an immediate United States withdrawal from our obligations under the Helsinki accord unless the President certifies to both Houses of Congress. within 60 days after the close of the Madrid Conference. that substantial progress has been made on Soviet compliance with its basic provisions. The Soviets brutal repression of fundamental human rights. including the freedom of emigration. coupled with their recent invasion of neutral neighboring Afghanistan. have demonstrated to the world the nature of Soviet intentions. These actions are ample evidence of Soviet disregard for any Helsinki obligations assumed when inking the accord. The United States should act now to put an end to this Fovet sham and fraud initiated at Helsinki in 1975.
