 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the President should: (1) protect the human rights of Miroslav Medvid by not allowing his removal from the United States until a complete investigation can determine whether he has been accorded all rights due him as a possible defector, and until he is accorded such rights; (2) Mr. Medvid is afforded an interview on U.S. soil, with an interpreter fluent in Ukrainian, in an environment free of intimidation and without the presence of Soviet authorities so that he may freely decide whether to restate and have granted his initial asylum request; and (3) pursue an active and impartial investigation into the Medvid case in order to avoid a similar situation in the future.
