This group of 100 congressional spouses has been collecting petitions. writing letters. and bringing Ms. Nudels case to the attention of a number of authorities. including Rosalynn Carter. During a recent White House meeting. the group presented Mrs. Carter with a small statue of a fisherman. symbolizing freedom. The statue was from Ms. Nudel. given just before she was sent into exile. Mr. President. Ida Nudel is being denied a basic human rightthe right to emigrate. We in the Senate should now voice our firm commitment to this basic dignity. I therefore urge my colleagues to join with me in supporting this resolution.
