Mr. President. over 100 days have passed since the Soviet Freighter bearing Miroslav Medvid departed the United States. Despite the passage of almost 3 months. we know little more about the case today. than we did on November 9. 1985. What little we do know is disturbing. Last October a young man desperately attempted to seek asylum in the United States. He jumped twice into the waters of the Mississippi River. to avoid returning to the Soviet Union. Yet. for some reason. he was returned to his ship. against his will. In order to get to the bottom of this case.
