The Soviet Governments continued abuse of Dr. Sakharov and his wife Yelena Bonner is morally indefensible and it cannot and must not go unnoticed. I am appalled over the recent reports that the Sakharovs have once again been forced to move to another apartment in Gorky. further isolating them from friends and family. Over a year ago we in Congress called upon the Soviet Union to allow Yelena Bonner and Dr. Sakharov to emigrate to the West. Our request fell on deaf ears. I find it incomprehensible that the Soviets continue to deny the Sakharovsand many othersthe fundamental human rights of living where one chooses.
