Earlier today I made a statement and placed in the RECORD a series of reports from Moscow about the Sakharovs hunger strike. which was on November 24. the occasion of the unanimous adoption of a resolution by the Senate calling on the Soviet authorities to desist from the villainous behavior which had prompted the strike. This has not happened. they have not ceased their persecution of Andrei Sakharov and his family. Indeed. they have now escalated the harassment by removing Sakharov and his wife from their home. All the Sakharovs have asked is that a young woman be given an exit visa as is the presumed right of any Soviet citizen under the Helsinki accords. They did not do so. They have not done so.
