We know exactly what is going on in the Soviet Union with respect to human rights. We must use every forum. every avenue. every opportunity that exists to let the world know that the United States will not turn her back on Soviet Jews or any other persecuted people. As a part of the vigil. each member was asked to adopt an individual or a family that is imprisoned or has been denied permission to emigrate and to work and speak out in their behalf. I have chosen Anatoloy Shcharansky as this person. Anatoloy Shcharansky has been sentenced to 13 years of prison and labor camp for the crime of applying to emigrate. He has been subjected to cruel punishment and has been denied contact with his family and the outside world for over a year. I have met with his loyal and brave wife.
