How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of. and which no other people on Earth enjoy!" Anatoly Shcharansky knows just how very precious freedom truly is. and speaks for the many millions of men and woman who are not free to speak themselves. While we were gratified by Anatolys presence in our midst. and mindful of his joyous reunion with Avital. who is now expecting their first child. we cannot forget the millions who are still denied their own freedom. In the Soviet Union. despite the threat of Government reprisals and bureaucratic obstacles. over 400.000 Jews have applied to emigrate. Avital and Anatoly Shcharansksy are an inspiration and a symbol of hope to all throughout this world who love freedom. We want to assure them that my colleagues and I intend to continue unabated our fight for human justice behind the Iron Curtain.
