He is a credit to us all. Each year there is a rally in New York at the United Nations to bring together the thousands of people who stand in solidarity with the many refuseniks struggling to leave the Soviet Union. Although Anatoly Scharansky has won his freedom. we cannot let down in our fight to help the remaining Soviet Jews seeking asylum in the West. We must make their struggle our struggle. We must continue to make them symbols of the Wests fight against Soviet violations of the Helsinki accords. of our struggle for human decency. for human dignity. We cannot let the Soviet Government ever forget that they signed the accords. and that their refusal to allow Soviet Jews to emigrate is an abrogation of that treaty. Unfortunately. emigration is still a mere trickle. We must. therefore. continue to fight for every single refusenik on a casebycase basis. We must prove to the Soviets that we will not forget our families and friends living under the yoke of Soviet oppression.
