I asked some of the refuseniks that. I asked. "Should we trade? As some have suggested. should we trade missiles for lives. for exit visas?" And they all looked at me with horror in their faces and said. "Absolutely not. because even if the United States and the West lowers its defenses. then even if we get out. within a few generations our childern still wont be free." There is a linkage. There is a linkage in terms of keeping the pressure on and insisting that the Soviet Union abide by its human rights agreements if we are going to consider seriously entering into new agreements. There is not.
