I have come to appreciate just how important it is to keep a lifeline open to the people living in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Although progress has been made in the area of human rights because of the accords. more needs to be done. Soviet Jewish immigration has fallen from 51.000 in 1979 to about 1.500. Thousands of individuals remain in Soviet prisons. not because of any criminal acts they may have committed. but because of their religious or political beliefs. In Poland. millions of people risk their lives every day for rights that we in the United States take for granted.
