Mr. Speaker. the letters I receive in behalf of Ida Nudel from her sister and friends are written in tones of increasing concern over the state of her health as a -prisoner in Siberia. unjustly incarcerated for her efforts to emigrate to Israel. Prison offlials refuse to acknowledge her need for medical assistance. and the Soviet Government continues its efforts to denigrate her character to justify a 4year prison sentence doled out in place of an exit visa. Under the leadership of our colleague from Connecticut. CHRISTOPHER DODD. several Members of Congress recently wrote to Secretary Brezhnev. requesting clemency for Ida Nudel in the form of an exit visa so that she can join her sister in Israel Because the Soviet Government has been known to respond to public pressure in the past. I urge those of you who did not cosign this letter to write to Mr. Brezhnev in behalf of Ida Nudel. expressing your concern over the state of her health and urging him to grant her clemency.
