Carter Reprisal Draws Mixed Reaction Amid Outrage

be stilled" in the struggle
for human rights. However,
he stressed that he will not
permit this to interfere with
efforts to reach an agree-
ment on nuclear weapons
limitations with the Soviet
Union.
But Shcharansky's wife,
Avital, who arrived in
Washington Friday from
Geneva where she had met
with Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance, asserted: "It's
not enough that the United
States speak out. It's time
we carry out some action."
Mrs. Shcharansky learned
of her husband's sentence
only after she got off the
plane in Washington. She
wept briefly. "Thirteen
years is much too much to
spend," she said, "15 days is
too much for a person who is
not guilty of anything."

There were reports
from Administration
sources with Carter in
West Germany that the
U.S. is considering trad-
ing two Soviet diplomats
arrested in New Jersey as
suspected spies for
Shcharansky and possi-
bly others. When asked
about her reaction to this
during a television ap-
pearance Friday night on
the Public Broadcasting
System's "MacNeil/
Lehrer Report," Mrs.
ShcharanskS, was both
ambivalent and dis-
turbed.

She said she feared that it
might be used by the Soviets
as proof that her husband

Shcharansky's Closing Words

(Editor's note: The fol-
lowing are the closing
words of Anatoly
Shcharansky before he
was sentenced. It is based
on notes taken by his
brother, Leonid, who at-
tended the trial.)
In March and April (this

year) during questioning,
those who were conducting
the investigation warned
that with the position I had
taken during the investiga-
tion, and which I am follow-
ing here in court, I face a
firing squad, or at least, 15
years in prison.
