He waxed indignant and ranted and raved when he was questioned relating to the human rights practices of the Soviet Union. Mr. Speaker. I will be circulating a letter to all my colleagues asking that the President raise the issue of human rights with the Soviet Union as a high level agenda item.

This is one summit that should not be left to issues relating to strategic weapons and arms control. The United States should stand behind arms control and human rights observance by the Soviets.
