Speaker. the resolution before us today concerns the plight of Soviet dissident Igor Ogurtsov.

The President is asked to urge the Soviet Union to provide Igor Ogurtsov with adequate medical care. grant his immediate release from internal exile. and accept his application for exit visa and allow him to emigrate to the West with his parents without forcing him to renounce his views. Born in Volgagrad in 1937. Igor Ogurtsov spent most of his life residing in Leningrad and graduated from Leningrad State University in 1966 taking a degree in oriental studies.
