Mr. President. like many other Members of the Senate I have spoken out repeatedly against human rights violations in the Soviet Union and elsewhere. I have sponsored legislation on behalf of a number of Soviet refuseniks and I have written hundreds of letters to Soviet leaders. urging them to end harassment and discrimination against Jewish and other citizens and to grant these people the basic human right to emigrate to the country of their choice. The cases of some of these brave people are well known. Anatoly Shcharansky. a computer scientist. was imprisoned in 1977 because of his tireless advocacy of human rights.
