...were devoted to such global issues as the Middle East, Africa, European security and the climate of East-West relations. The President emphasized that he remained concerned about the Soviet Union's record on human rights and specifically raised the issue of the continued imprisonment of Soviet Dissident Anatoli Shcharansky...
...that is also put to full use. Under Vance, the State Department bureaucracy is far more a part of the action than it was under either Secretary of State William Rogers or Kissinger.

Any such amnesty seems unlikely. Instead, Soviet authorities have stepped up their persecution of human rights activists. Anatoli Shcharansky, a leading dissident, was charged with treason. Along with a number of other Jews, he has been accused of working for CIA agents disguised as U.S. diplomats and journalists. American officials have sharply denied the charge. Fearing that a sensational show trial is in preparation, the U.S. State Department expressed...
