The president quoted a letter he had received last month from a group of dissidents in the Soviet Union who are united in the Inter-National Committee in Defense of Political Prisoners, which stated: "We can hardly envisage the struggle for human rights without a struggle for the national rights of nations." The citation drew loud applause from the audience, which included more than 30 Ukrainians.
