That word. and the policy of openness. should be applauded by all as an excellent step in the right direction for improved relations between our two countries. But. Mr. Speaker. "glasnost" is just another word if the deeds do not follow. We have heard about some of the most famous dissidents and refuseniks being released and allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union. These acts of good faith by the Soviet leaders are not forgotten. But one of my constituents. who last month spoke with Andrei Sakharov in the Soviet Union. noted that of the 25 imprisoned dissidents he spoke of. only 4 or 5 had actually been addressed.
