Lithuania. Estonia. and of course we can go on and mention Poland and Romania and Bulgaria and Hungary and Czechoslovakia. et cetera. et cetera. I would have hoped on the previous resolution. which I supported. that we would have brought up the fact that the Helsinki Monitoring Commission must reelevate this issue because at this very moment men and women are being led off to the Gulag Archipelago for no other reason than being Christian. no other reason than being Jews and wanting to emigrate to Israel. no other reason than to raise their voices against the totalitarian machinery of the Soviet Union. I want to remind everyone that within 2 weeks of passing the Helsinki accords and the signature of the United States of America. the Soviet Union denied Andrei Sakharov the right to go to Oslo for the Nobel Peace Prize. Shcharansky is still in prison. and there are Jews and Christians. as I mentioned before. imprisoned in the Soviet Union for their beliefs.
