Senate acts on a particularly important and timely humanitarian matter. the case of Soviet computer scientist Viktor Brailovsky. Senate Concurrent Resolution 5 calls on the Soviet Government to grant Dr. Brailovsky proper medical attention for his serious chronic liver and kidney disease. to release him from custody. and to allow him and his family to emigrate to Israel. Even as we act. the Soviets have tried Dr. Brailovsky and sentenced him to 5 years of internal exile. Government witnesses summoned against him found the antiSoviet statements and activities he was charged with difficult to corroborate in court. Dr. Brailovsky has led an exemplary personal and lirofessional life. and his attempts to emigrate have been fully within procedures pledged by the Soviet Government in various international agreements including the Helsinki Final Act. Mr. President. the Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 5 unanimously on Tuesday afternoon.
