Yesterday. Aleksei Semyenov received word that his father is in critical condition. The Sakharovs have vowed to continue their hunger strike until their daughterinlaw is granted her visa. Their deaths would represent a tremendous loss to the world: a loss of two more leaders in the struggle for peace and freedom. In allowing the Sakharovs to continue their hunger strike. the Soviet Union will be killing not only the Sakharovs but also their own accountability. How can the world trust any nation that violates not only international but also its own national codes. Accordingly. I join my colleagues in urging the Soviet Union to grant Liza Alekseyeva her visa. and to allow Andrei Sakharov and Yelena Bonner the freedom of choice.
