Shcharansky broke no Soviet laws. but was actively engaged in working for the human rights of Jews and other minorities in the Soviet Union. all in accord with Soviet law and international agreements signed by the U.S.S.R. He was actually upholding the requirements of the Helsinki accords which require citizens to monitor their own countrys behavior toward their own people. I will continue to bring to the attention of the Soviet authorities my concern for human rights. including the rights to emigrate. and my concern for the plight of those who suffer imprisonment and exile for their beliefs. I want to stress to the Soviets the seriousness with which the American people take our mutual commitments under the U.N. Charter. the U.N.
