Fenwick Credit union representatives hold conference urges respect . ^Щ'П^ for rights NEW YORK - Speaking at a con– ference on European-American rela– tions in Strasbourg, France, Rep. Millicent Fenwick (R-N.J.) pointed to the need for "passionate intensity" in respect for human rights, reported Flora Lewis in the July 3 issue of The New York Times. Ms. Lewis reported that Rep. Fen- wick's impassioned speech on human rights was "astonishingly fresh," as it articulated that one of the goals of Western society should be to offer the young something to defend besides their paychecks. As the conference droned on about the usual themes of missiles, interest rates and the Soviet menace, Mrs. Fenwick chose to address the issue of human rights, Ms. Lewis reported. "Why are we building these awful weapons? What for?" asked Rep. Fen- wick. "The last Soviet doctor who denounced the use of psychiatric wards to punish political prisoners is now in jail.
