The Soviet Unions President Brezhnev has said that he would like to normalize relations with the United States. I would hope that this normalization could begin with the immediate release of Anatoly Shcharansky. This man has suffered much mental anguish and physical pain since his initial wish to emigrate. He has never done anything wrong other than to express his desire to join his wife in Israel where they could begin a new life together. The Soviet Union has nothing to gain by the continued detention of Anatoly Shcharansky. There is much to be gained by his release. in terms of Soviet relations with the United States as well as the rest of the world. not to mention Shcharanskys own. longoverdue personal happiness. I urge the leaders of the Soviet Union to release Anatoly Shcharansky from prison and to grant him a visa so that he may join his wife and find a life of fulfillment in Israel.*
