It backs creating a 15 member commission to study salaries and benefits and suggests voters would choose more seriously if salaries reached about 40 000 or more and fringe benefits were trimmed.

American critics note Soviet human rights record in wake of dissident cases
A leading Soviet authority on American affairs complains of U.S. rights abuses while praising outside pressure that helps dissidents. Bukovsky’s repeated imprisonments and Tverdokhlebov’s arrest highlight the USSR’s use of psychiatry and exile. Western protests and figures like Sakharov press for action. The piece argues selective nonintervention and U.S. values shape policy more than abstract rules.
