President. I am gratified that the Senate has unanimously voted its approval of Senate Resolution 294. expressing the sense of the Senate that the renowned Soviet dissident. Igor Ogurtsov. should be released from internal exile in the Soviet Union. and that he and his parents be granted permission to emigrate to the West. Mr. President. 40 Senators joined me in cosponsoring this legislation. and the entire Senate. by its action. has shown its solidarity with the cause of Igor Ogurtsov and the thousands of others like him. who continue to suffer under the Soviet Governments policy of denying its citizens their basic human rights.
