The Soviet ship is to head back to the Soviet Union tomorrow. What will happen to Mr. Medvid? Most likely. he will disappear. possibly become a nonperson. If he is to face such a demise. the fault will only be ours. U.S. Officials at the INS and the border patrol. and any other officials who deal with possible asylum situations. must be better educated to respond to such situations. Where none exist. formal procedures for U.S. agen. cies regarding the handling of persons seeking political asylum must be established. Current procedures should be revised as well. to ensure that there will not be a repeat of this incident.
