Mart Niklus is in very poor health. a combination of untreated radiculitis and successive hunger strikes. He is clearly in need of medical attention which the prison authorities have denied him. For several years members of Congress have spoken out in support of Mart Niklus. In 1982 I joined my colleagues in supporting House Concurrent Resolution 218. a resolution which calls upon the Soviet Government to honor its commitments under the Helsinki accords by allowing Mart Niklus to emigrate to Sweden. This year. along with many Members of the House. I am participating in a program sponsored by the Estonian American National Council to send birthday greeting to Mart Niklus.
