Speech #990186276

One reason. Mr. President. is that the Soviet Union and its clients absolutely refuse any open discussion of their emigration policies. even when they are obligated by treaty to do so. as they are at this CSCE Conference at Bern. And the Soviet Union ignores our exhortations concerning its emigration policy in every instance. including such cases as those of Dr. Andrei Sakharov. who still suffers in Gorky in KGB hands for his legitimate human rights activities under the Helsinki Final Act. I ask that the following article from the May 6 edition of the New York City Tribune be reprinted in the RECORD as a reminder of the absurdity of Soviet emigration policy.
