I dared to turn to the Soviet leaders and to political and intellectual leaders in other countries with the call and request to carry out the obligation that they took upon themselves voluntarilythe obligation to honor the values of others and their right to live where the3 * want. I Today. I call on my colleagues tc join me in protesting the case of Ida Nudel. Her unjust sentence to internal exile by Soviet officials and their re* fusals of her requests to emigrate arc in gross violation of the Helsinki agreements. We must continue to confront Soviet authorities with this breach of commitmentWe must continue to offer hope and encouragement to those who have the courage to demand their human rights.o
