Mr. Speaker. this case. like so many others. is a cardinal example of the failure of the Soviet Union to live up to its commitments. not only under certain provisions of its own Constitution. but under such international agreements as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. the Helsinki accords. and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. House Concurrent Resolution 111 expresses the sense of the Congress that the Soviet authorities should provide proper medical treatment to Yuriy Shukhevych. release him from prison. and permit him and his family to emigrate from the Soviet Union. It also calls on the President to express the opposition of the United States to Mr. Shukhevychs continued imprisonment and maltreatment.
