Mr. Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to bring to my colleagues attention. the fate of Yuri Shukhevich. a Ukrainian dissident who has spent 30 of his 49 years in Soviet prisons. While this Congress has passed resolutions condemning the treatment of Yuri Shukhevich. and calling for permission to have he and his family emigrate. the Soviet Government has taken no action. Thus. I am now sponsoring Mr. Shukhevich on the Soviet vigil. in the hope this action will show the Soviets we have not forgotten the inhumane and cruel treatment of this most courageous man. I would like to insert the following statement describing the plight of Yuri Shukhevich as it was written by two former Soviet political prisoners.
