Nevertheless. it appears unrealistic to expect such full disclosure from a government which is concerned with the interest of the State. and not the individual. This disregard for the rights of individuals to express views in opposition to the government is the reason Dr. Andrei Sakharov languishes under house arrest in Gorky. Today. I announce my cosponsorship of Senate Joint Resolution 326. which would proclaim May 21. 1986. as Andrei Sakharov Honor and Freedom Day. It is appropriate to designate a day to honor this Nobel Peace Prize winner. His only crime is the advocacy of human rights. and particularly the right of Soviet Jews to emigrate from the Soviet Union. Mr. President.
