Mr. Speaker. on February 11. 1986. Anatoly Shcharansky walked across Glienicke Bridge. 18 prisoners of conslence did not walk. On the 11 th of February. Anatoly Shcharansky found liberty. Hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jews have found nothing but denied exit visas. harassment. and conscious bureaucratic delays. Secretary of State Shultz has said that because of the numerous international conventions and declarations. human rights are no longer regarded as an internal concern. But what matter international conventions and declarations? A convention does not make the persecution of a religious group wrong. a declaration neither adds or subtracts from moral turpitude.
