This resolution expressed the sense of the Congress that the President should express to the Government of the Soviet Union the disapproval of the American people concerning the Soviet Unions systematic nondelivery of international mail. Unfortunately. the situation for Soviet dissidents has worsened. In May of this year. only 51 Jews were allowed to emigrate. Fewer than 1.000 Soviet Jews were allowed to emigrate in all of 1984. this is the lowest level in over a decade. I am pleased that the Reagan administration made attempts to secure the freedom of two famed Soviet dissidents. Anatoly Shcharansky and Andrei Sakharov.
