We have been writing those letters and sending those telegrams for many. many years now. And. it has paid off. Think of the Soviet refuseniks. dissidents. internal exiles. political prisoners. and inmates of pychiatric wards who have finally been allowed to emigrate or to receive their liberty inside the Soviet Union as a result of the hundreds or thousands of letters. telegrams. calls. and visits of Members of Congress to Soviet leaders. I believe very strongly that the same kind of longterm commitment to the cause of human rights in Tibet is urgently needed. Senators need to begin to write to Chinese authorities with the same persistence. diligence. and forcefulness as we have all these years on behalf of Soviet citizens mistreated by their government.
