Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of House Concurrent Resolution 304. expressing the sense of the Congress that Yelena Bonner should be allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union for the purpose of seeking medical treatment. urging that the President protest the continued violation of human rights in the Soviet Union. including the rights of Andrei Sakharov and Yelena Bonner. and for other purposes. I want to voice my strong support for the resolution which calls on the Soviet Government to grant Yelena Bonner. wife of Andrei Sakharov. permission to go abroad for much needed medical treatment. Yelena Bonner. who sustained eye injury on the Soviet front during World War II. has twice been permitted to go to Italy for treatment for her cataract condition.
