I am deeply concerned for the fate of Estonian dissidents now arrested and serving harsh prison sentences for daring to exercise basic human rights guaranteed to them by the Soviet Constitution. Among these is Mart Nlklus. an Estonian scientist. who has been sentenced to 10 years at hard regime in the Soviet prison camps. Dr. Nlklus Is in poor health and In need of immediate medical attention. Dr. Niklus crime consisted of promoting the information contained In the Helsinki accords to which the Soviets are a signatory. I urge my colleagues to support House Concurrent Resolution 218 which urges the Soviets to release Dr. Niklus and to allow him to emigrate to Sweden.*
