Mr. Speaker. I want to thank my distinguished colleague. Congressman HAMILTON FISH. JR.. for requesting the special order to bring to the attention of our Nation the plight of Dr. Viktor Brailovsky. a political prisoner. and prominent Soviet scientist and leader of the Soviet Jewish emigration movement. Dr. Brailovsky was incarcerated last November and is suffering from poor health. He is in need of immediate medical attention for a critical liver ailment and I urge the Soviet authorities to comply with basic humanitarian requirements and provide the needed medical treatment. Dr. Brailovsky is like many others around the world. a victim of state terrorism consisting of human rights violations directed against those. who. speak out with and on behalf of the poor and the oppressed.
