Nudel was arrested and charged with "malicious hooliganism" and sentenced in a closed trial to 4 years of internal exile in Siberia. Ida Nudels exile has aroused great concern for her health and safety. The congressional wives for Soviet Jewry. cochaired by Mrs. Helen Jackson and my wife Jeanette. has been especially active on her behalf. Mr. President. Ida Nudel is guaranteed the right to emigrate by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. We must continue to insist that these basic human rights be observed. By passing this resolution. we reaffirm our own historical commitment to the cause of individual liberty. and I urge favorable action.
