In encouraging human rights within the Soviet Union. Andrei Sakharov has exposed himself to cruel abuse by the official Communist apparatus. This abuse. as we know. has not been confined only to himself. but has included his wife. and his stepsons wife who wishes to emigrate from the Soviet Union. By approving House Resolution 286. we will be telling the Soviet Union that we care about Andrei Sakharov. that we care what happens to his family. and that we believe human rights is more than a sloganit is a standard to which we expect all countries to adhere. We have waved the banner of human rights from afar as a basic liberty for all to aspire to.
