Both sides must endeavor to build that trust. The Soviet Government can take effective steps in the direction of peace by demonstrating to the world that it respects international law. It can begin to do that by taking the following steps: Release Anatoly Shcharansky and all those imprisoned for demanding their right to emigrate. for pursuing their faith and culture. or for monitoring Soviet compliance to human rights agreements. This month marks the eighth anniversary of the arrest of Anatoly Shcharansky. As long as Anatoly Shcharansky remains behind bars. I am afraid Soviet pronouncements of good faith will fall upon deaf ears. Anatoly Shcharansky remains a symbol of the struggle for freedom of people all over the world. Open the doors of emigration. Cease persecution of Jewish cultural groups and halt the flood of governmentsponsored antiSemitic propaganda in the media. I urge that these steps be takan by the new Soviet leadership.
