Anatoly suffers daily from solitary confinement. poor health as a result of his imprisonment and substandard diet. and a lack of contact with his loved ones. For Anatoly Shcharansky and for all Jews in the Soviet Union. the crusade continues despite disheartening statistics. At this time last year we were disturbed by the small number of persons allowed to emigrate from that country in 1982 when only 2.692 were permitted to leave. It is with even greater distress that we note that 1983 saw even fewer. A mere 1.315 were granted permission to leave last year. a shocking figure when compared to 51.329 in As the White House laments the Soviet noncompliance with arms control treaties and we note once again the broken promise of the Helsinki Final Act to reunite families. it remains my hope that the Soviet Government will consider its obligations to honor the pledges it has made and broken. time and again.
