Mr. President. I join my colleagues in deploring the way in which the Soviet Government has mistreated Dr. Andrei Sakharov and his wife. Elena Bonner. and in urging the Soviet authorities to allow this couple to emigrate from the Soviet Union. I have long admired Dr. Sakharov. a man who to me epitomizes the best in human nature: courage. decency. altruism. brilliance. honor. honesty. He has written eloquently of the need for arms control for some 15 years. a goal in which I also deeply believe. He has a vision of a better world which he has tried to share with his scientific colleagues at home and abroad and with the public at large.
