Speaker. reserving the right to object. for too long the Soviet Union has flaunted its noncompliance with its international commitments on human rights. I support this resolution which expresses the sense of the Congress that the Soviet Union should live up to these solemn obligations. and in particular. in several serious and specifically enumerated cases.

This resolution emphasizes our strong desire to see the Soviet Union cease its inhumane threatment and separation of a number of spouses. Therefore.
