FOR

O RLOV SHCHARANSKY

Scientists and Engineers Pledge Moratorium on Behalf of ColleaguesOn 22 January 1980, our colleague Andrei

Sakharov, an outstanding scientist and world-renowned leader ofhuman rights, was arrestedand exiled to Gorki by the Soviet authorities,for the "crime" ofexpressing his personal opin-ions. Since then he has been repeatedly ha-rassed and even physically assaulted by thepolice. His wife reports he is in poor health. Wemust help!To protest the Soviet government's savage

treatment of their colleagues Orlov andShcharansky, more than 2,400 American scien-tists pledged last year to restrict their scientificcooperation with the Soviet Union. This actionwas strongly applauded by Sakharov and otherSoviet dissidents (and was widely denouncedin the Soviet media). Nearly 1,000 French andAustralian scientists have also adopted similarpledges. Because of Sakharov's exile and thedeteriorating plight of other dissident scien-tists, we must act now and in much greaternumbers than ever before.We appeal to you, our fellow scientists and

engineers the world over, to join together in astrong and significant protest of the SovietUnion's blatant violation of the human rightsprovisions of the Helsinki Accords to which itis a signatory. We propose a moratorium onscientific cooperation with the Soviet Union

for a limited duration linked to Helsinki Ac-cords actions.To commemorate the founding of the

Moscow Helsinki Watch Group by Orlov,Shcharansky and others, the Moratorium shallbegin on the fourth anniversary ofthat date, 12May 1980. Six months later, on 11 November1980, there will commence a major confer-ence in Madrid to monitor compliance withthe Helsinki Accords, with representationfrom all 35 countries which signed the treaty.We propose to maintain the Moratorium untilthe end of the Madrid conference. Evidencefrom that meeting can then help determine theneed for, and the course of, future action.

Scientists everywhere, acting indepen-dently of their governments, must ex-press their deep concern nowl We urgeyou to sign the pledge coupon below andto solicit additional signatures from yourprofessional coileagues. The pledge doesnot preclude personal communication withSoviet scientists in the interests of promotinghuman rights and world peace.We will publicize the pledge, along with the

names of signers, and send the list to SovietPresident and Secretary Leonid Brezhnev andto the President of the Soviet Academy of Sci-ences, A. P Aleksandrov.

Moratorium PledgeTo protest the human rights violations by the Soviet Union in the cases of Sakbarov,

Orlov and Shcharansky, we, the undersigned scientists and engineers, pledge amoratorium on professional cooperation with the Soviet scientific community for aperiod begnning 12 May 1980, the anniversary of the founding of the Moscow HelsinkiVtch Group, and ending at the completion ofthe November 1980 Madrid Conference tomonitor the Helsinki Accords. During thi period we will not visit the Soviet Union orwelcome Soviet scientists and engineers to our laboratories.
