This fact addresses my point. The Soviets must switch course because they have not been able to break the message of Shcharansky or quell the thoughts of any other Soviet dissidents that remain imprisoned with Shcharansky. Their message that freedom is the supreme virtue of man. is reaching the world. No matter what the Communists do to censor free speech. to imprison men for their religious beliefs. or for their rights to emigrate. they cannot silence this desire. For this is the most basic right of man. his desire to be free. Mr. Speaker. my message to the Soviets. my message to the world. is that Anatoly Shcharansky is a harbinger of freedom.
