I ask. what threat can Professor Raben pose to the Soviet Union? If a man who has so nobly served both his nation and fellow man is a threat to a nation. where is the strength of that nation? I urge the Soviet leadership to live up to the international commitment they made under the Helsinki accords and allow Professor Raben. his family. and others who may also desire it. the right to emigrate. I simply conclude. Mr. President. by saying the case history that I have referred to is not just one individual in the Soviet Union today. It is countless individuals. thousands of individuals that are being treated unfairly by that Government. I think it is particularly important to those of us who have a legitimate concern in this area as all Americans should. and as most Americans do that we speak up from time to time when it is appropriate and at times when it is not appropriate to keep the pressure on the Soviet Union to make changes in their emigration policies.
