I believe. along with many others. that world opinion can. in fact. force the Soviet Union to abide by the Helsinki agreement and live up to the responsibilities agreed upon by all signatory nations. It is particularly important. therefore. that we. as Americans. reaffirm our own commitment to human rights the world over and let Soviet officials know that the preservation of these human rights. as spelled out at Helsinki. remains vital to the American people. At this time. I would ask Soviet officials to account for the whereabouts of Raisa Rudenko and. ultimately. to grant Raisa and Mykola Rudenko permission to emigrate. The lives of Raisa and Mykola Rudenko and thousands of men and women like them depend on our efforts.
