This final resolution is fairly typical of the others that have received our action. and it concludes by saying: Resolved. That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the President. at every suitable opportunity and in the strongest terms. should express to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics the opposition of the United States to the imprisonment of Anatoly Shcharansky. and should urge that Mr. Shcharansky be given proper medical treatment and be permitted to emigrate to Israel. In each of these resolutions. Mr. Speaker. we instruct the President through his emissaries to make our concerns known to Soviet authorities. This week the Secretary of State will be meeting with the Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union. I would hope that the Secretary of State will take these concerns and others expressed by the Congress regarding various dissidents and the treatment afforded them within the Soviet Union and express in the strongest terms our continuing concern about their health and wellbeing and in some cases their opportunity to emigrate from that country. It seems timely that the resolutions before us instruct the Presidentand. in this case. through his Secretary of Stateto make these expressions known to the Soviet authorities. We need to express in the strongest terms our continuing concerns about dissidents within the Soviet Union.
