Mr. Speaker. I join my colleagues in honoring Anatoly Shcharansky. the world ienowned and beloved Soviet dissident. and in calling upon the Government of the Soviet Union to release him immediately and allow him to emigrate and join his family in the West. The years of harassment. abuse. and repression of Anatoly Shcharansky say more about the Soviet Union than anything that Tass or Pravda can write. If the brilliance of Mr. Shcharanskys -intellect and the independence of his thought are subversive. it is no wonder that political. cultural. and economic life in the Soviet Union are in shambles. Anatoly Shcharanskys life and work are indeed subversivehe subverted the repression. antiSemitism. and abuse that characterize the Government of the Soviet Union.
