Alexander Haig.
Lantos said that both
Reagan and Haig now
have the "obligation" to
raise the issue of Wallen-
berg's whereabouts with
the Soviet Union at the
highest levels, as called
for by the resolution. He
said the Soviet Union has
the obligation "if he (Wal-
lenberg) is alive, to let
him go," or if he is dead,
to release the facts of
what happened to him.
Both Lantos and his wife,
Annette, were among the
Hungarian Jews rescued by
Wallenberg. Mrs. Lantos is
chairman of the Interna-
tional Raoul Wallenberg
Committee.
Floor leader for the bill
was Rep. William Broom-
field of Michigan, the rank-
ing Republican on the
House Foreign Affairs
Committee.
Other members of Con-
gress who supported the
resolution stressed that
granting honorary citizen-
ship to Wallenberg was not
a precedent. They noted
that Wallenberg went to
Hungary to help rescue
Jews there partly at the re-
quest of the United States
government.
He was arrested when the
Red Army entered
Budapest in January, 1945.
The Soviet Union claimes
he died in prison in 1947 but
there have been eye-
witnesses since then and in
recent years who claim to
have seen him alive.
