In the Senate of the United States, November 13 (l,egislative day, November 12), 1985.

Whereas President Ronald Reagan and Soviet General Secre­ tary will meet at Geneva, Switzerland, on November 19-20, 1985; Whereas the leaders of the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have not met for over six years; "Whereas serious dialogue, exchanging the views of the United States and the Soviet Union, is a necessary step in any at­ tempt to narrow the range of disagreements between the two countries and to reduce the possibility of basic misun­ derstandings which either nation may have concerning the intentions, policies and actions of the other; Whereas bilateral arms control negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union were resumed in Geneva, on March 12, 1985, on a complex of questions concerning space and nuclear arms, both strategic and intermediate range, a series of proposals and counterproposals for the re­ duction and control of those arms having been offered by both nations; Whereas the President has stated that he is "encouraged" by the beginning of "legitimate negotiations" with the Soviet Union at the Geneva arms talks; 2 Whereas, there is a basic unity of purpose among all Americans that_any arms control treaty be verifiable, equitable, lead to increased strategic stability, and be fully complied with by both sides; Whereas the Senate is deeply concerned that any arms control treaty meet these standards, as well as satisfy the constitu­ tional requirement for the advice and consent of the Senate, concerns reflected in the creation of the Arms Control Ob­ server Group by the Senate leadership in January 1985;

Whereas our NATO allies, Japan, and our other allies and friends, in the pre-summit period, have demonstrated the unity of the W estem alliance in support of the American position on arms control; Whereas Soviet policies and actions with regard to regional matters, such as the . continued presence of Soviet combat forces in Afghanistan, and to implementation of internation­ ally-recognized standards of human rights, such as uncon­ scionably harsh restrictions on the right of individuals to freely emigrate, constitute difficult obstacles to a more con­ structive relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States; and

Whereas a number of other cooperative bilateral matters might productively be pursued if a more constructive basic rela­ tionship were to be developed between the United States and the Soviet Union: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Senate hereby- (A) commends the President for his initiative to meet with the new Soviet General Secretary in Geneva on No­ vember 19-20, 1985;

SRF.S 257 ES 3 (B) extends to the President full support, and best

wishes for success in his efforts to engage the Soviet leader

in a constructive dialogue on the complete range of matters

in dispute with the Soviet Union; (C) views the summit as an important opportunity for possible progress on crucial international and bilateral issues, including arms control; and

(D) encourages the President, in his meetings with the

THRU: M.B. OGLESBY, JR~\'­ ALAN M. KRANOWITZ" FROM: ED Fox£ SUBJECT: Mrs. Reagan's meeting with Mrs. Gorbachev

The enclosed materials (petitions and books of poetry) were given to me by Congressman Jack Kemp (R-NY). He has asked that I forward them to your office on behalf of Mr. Alexander Ginsburg, organizer of the Third World Congress of Soviet and East European Studies, and the other co-signers of the enclosed petitions.

The Congressman and petitioners are concerned about the imprisonment of Irina Ratushinskaya, a Russian poet who is now serving a seven-year sentence in a Soviet labor camp for alleged political crimes. They are asking that Mrs. Reagan raise this case with Mrs. Gorbachev when they meet in Geneva and present her with one of the enclosed books containing some of Ms. Ratushinskaya's published works. The other book has been inscribed by Mr. Ginsburg for Mrs. Reagan.

In addition, Congressman Kemp has included statements of support for Ms. Ratushinskaya by Congressman James Jeffords (R-VT) and Congresswoman Barbara A. Mikulski.

Update on Honorary Member Irina Rat11shiuskaya February, 198.S (rev:iJed· October, 19.SS)

Poet. physics teacher. and disaident. Irina Rat1111hinska.ya bu been in a Soviet hard labor camp since April, 1983. She has been punished and confined to~ unheated cell many times. Her health has deteriorated to the point where there is legitimate concern for her survival.

She was born in . Ukrainian SSR, on March 4, 19S4. Upon-~ving a .Diploma Degree in physics in 1976, she-accepted a position at the Odessa Pedagogical lnatitute; b\ltlin 1979 she married Igor Geraschenko, moved to Kiev, and became acti•e ia the human rigbta movement after she and her husband were several times refused permission to emigJ"ate~.· Devoting herself increasingly to writing, her output inchlded many lyrical work•• but man~ addi.tiorudly protested social conditions. A 1984 tri-lingual collection of Ratushinskaya's poetry, by Hermitage, in association with International PEN, displays this range:

Who's fated to know what parting is­ Where tall ships go, the bridge-halves lift. Who can kno,~ just why it is At night, despair of silence lies On the white guard of the snowdrift. Why name love-the world's bereft. Better there were no name for this. • And: Could my country be· more despicable? Sha.me ~matched when the .ni&Jattime fa.lis,..

She and her husband were interrogated on several occa:siona by the KGB and threatened with criminal prosecution in August. 1981. Five months later they both participated in a demonstration in Moscow in suppcirt of . for which they were an-ested and sentenced to ten days• imprisonment. As a result they both lost their jobs. On September 17, 198Z. Ratushinskaya was again arrested. At her trial six months later the prin­ cipal charge was •agitation carried on for the purpose of subverting or weakening the Soviet regime," pursuant to Article 62. of the Ukrainian SSR Criminal Code. Cited in evidence against her were the facts that she wrote and circulated poems critical of the Soviet Union.

. Ratusbinskaya's trial lasted three days. The court appointed her defender. Sbe was not allowed to substitute an attorney of her choice. She was not allowed to represent herself. She was not. allowed to 'finish her final testimony. Her family and friends were not allowed inside the courtroom. On March 5, 1983 (one day after her Z9th birthday) she was sentenced to seven years at hard labor. to be followed by five years of internal exile• .

She has been denied visits from her husband and food and medicine sent by he r frie nd s . I join you in your call to Soviet authorities for compassion and respect for the human dignity of this brave poe t e ss.

IN SUPPORT' OF IRINA RATUSHINSKAYA

A poet creates COIT'fX)Sit ions desi gned to convey a vivi d and imaginat ive

sense of experience, characterized by the use of l anguage, chosen f or its

sound and rreaning .

Irina Rat ushinskaya is such a poet. She conveyed through her poetry

the reality of life in the Soviet Union. For this she was sent to the Soviet

Gu laq for seven years . Her criITe was her determination to express the t ruth

aoout the society around her. This brave determination must never be forgotten.

Her life symcolizes the ongoing struggle for basic human rights in the Soviet

Union.

We must raise our voices i n defense of Trina Ratushinskaya. We must make

it clear to the Soviet Governrrent'· that we will not rest until her f reedom is

secured. I strongl y support the efforts on behal f of Irina Ratushinskaya.
