President. this concurrent resolution is intended to express the unreserved support of this body for Dr. Sakharovs hunger strike. and to urge the President to make every effort to convince the U.S.S.R. to grant Mrs. Bonner an exit visa for the sake of her health. and further to end Dr. Sakharovs internal exile in Gorky and allow the Sakharovs to immigrate to the country of their choice. We are all familiar with the numerous treaties and international covenants that the Soviet Union has violated by continuing their campaign of repression against Andrei Sakharov and other dissidents. Now the life and wellbeing of a great man and his wife are threatened. and the burden i. on us to do something.
