Speaker. today we are considering a resolution. sponsored by the distinguished majority leader. my friend. Mr. WRIGHT. to allow the rotunda to be used for a ceremony to honor Anatoly Shcharansky. I am proud to be a cosponsor of this resolution. Mr. Shcharansky was a leader in the Soviet Jewish emigration movement and a founding member of the Moscow Helsinki monitoring group. As the world knows. the Communist rulers of the Soviet Union do not tolerate freedom of expression. Anatoly Shcharansky was sentenced to a 13year imprisonment for the alleged crime of requesting that his human rights and those of others be observed.
