Dear Mr. President: The Soviet Union has forcibly extended its power and domain over vast areas of the globe, imposing harsh restrictions on the populations it holds captive, distorting the rule of law into institutionalized state terror, unabatedly committing human rights abuses for 60 years. Bolshevik and Soviet rulers have tortured, maimed, enslaved and murdered more people than anyone in history — exceeding even Hitler's Third Reich. You, Mr. President, are among the few world leaders who recognize the true nature of the U.S.S.R. During your presidency, as you yourself remind us, not "one square inch" of free world soil has been conquered by communist forces. That is a record of which you can be proud. But, Mr. President, are you aware that within your own Administration there are people bent on accommodating Soviet goals, legitimizing its oppressive legal system, working with the notorious Soviet secret police, the KGB, and collaborating with Soviet oppressors? Only you, Mr. Presi- dent, can change the course of open collaboration with the Soviets which has been taken by the Office of Special Investigations, within your own Department of Justice. We respectfully submit the following for your consideration: ^ The tragedy of Hitler's perpetrated Holocaust cannot be under- it As they did in Nuremburg 40 years ago, the United States and estimated or forgotten. History must record Hitler's atrocities, both other Western nations should again establish tribunals, whose pur- for the sake of the victims and for future generations. pose would be to try and punish war criminals.

However, these countries are op- tragedy of Hitler's and Stalin's crimes against humanity and makes a pressed and held captive by Stalin's heirs. mockery of our democratic traditions. Mr. President, an American of Baltic heritage who has been denaturalized and faces deportation to the U.S.S.R. is in prison today. The guards have informed his family that he is not entitled to even the minimal amenities of prison life, because he is a political prisoner. While the US.S.R. continually charges that the United States has political prisoners, your Administration has repeatedly denied that allegation. The Office of Special Investigations has targeted other Baltic and Ukrainian individuals for deportation tolhe Soviet Union. These targeted deportees are not standing trial for alleged participation in war crimes. They are being tried in civil, not criminal proceedings for violating retroactively passed immigration laws. They are not being afforded the most basic constitutional protections guaranteed to all Americans. As naturalized Americans, they are being denied due process of law. These naturalized Americans are going to be delivered to the U.S.S.R. by the U.S. for political show trials and executions. Amnesty Interna- tional has protested against these deportations. Nonetheless, some overly zealous officials, in total disregard of traditional American policy, are eager to accommodate the Soviets by repeating the mistakes committed by the United States in the infamous Operation Keelhaul, when after World War II, the American military participated in the forced deportation of Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Russians, Poles and other's to Stalin's concentration camps. Mr. President, Americans of Eastern European heritage and millions of their neighbors who overwhelmingly supported you in 1980 and again in 1984 look to you to review and end this action by the Office of Special Investigations. ` - - - ^ ^ -.. ‚^^^^^с%^‡ч^ Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was in many respects a great president, committed a grievous error in conceding to Soviet demands at Yalta. As a result his record of achievements was greatly diminished in the eyes of millions of people who value freedom. Perhaps in recognizing Soviet influence over Eastern Europe, President Roosevelt had been blinded by the United States' past alliance with the Soviets. A similar concession on your part, Mr. President, could not be so excused, particularly in light of your long time anti-communist stance. History will record your great achievements in strongly resisting communist tyrannies around the globe, but if Americans are deported to the U.S.S.R. by your Admin- istration, it will blacken your record and leave a permanent blemish on the American soul. We beseech you, Mr. President, to listen to the pleas of your fellow Americans: `к Do not compound the injustices of World War II by allowing your Administration to collaborate with the Soviets. TJ ""` " " " ^Do not permit deportation or extradition of any individual to Мате communist controlled countries. ^Review the record of OSI's collaboration and submission to the interests of the Soviet Union and especially their secret police, the Address KGB. ^ , We trust in you, Mr. President, to correct this terribly unjust process.
