Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of House Concurrent Resolution 202 which expresses the sense of the Congress. that based on the Helsinki agreement and other international declarations on human and political rights. the Soviet Union should release Ida Nudel from exile and allow her to emigrate to Israel. Ida Nudel Is a "refusenik" who was sentenced on June 21. 1978 by the Soviet authorities to 4 years of internal exile for "malicious hooliganism." Her real crime. however. is both her activism on behalf of Soviet Jewry and her desire to emigrate to Israel. She first applied for an exit visa in 1971. which has been continuously denied by the Soviet Government. Mr. Speaker.
