I rise in support of this resolution. It is fitting that we in the Senate focus our time and energy on that country which can only be described as the worst offender of human rights in the history of humanity: the Soviet Union. The image recently portrayed in the press notwithstanding. the human rights situation in the Soviet Union is not improving under General Secretary Gorbachevs reign. It is worsening. Jewish immigration is down. Soviet respect for the Helsinki accords is practically nonexistent. The number of political prisoners in the Soviet Unionresiding now in psychiatric wards and forced labor campsis not diminishing.
