Speaker. the Beth El Hebrew Congregation. which is located in my congressional district. has written a very touching letter to Ida Nudel. a Soviet Jew and one of Anatoly Shcharanskys closest friends. In Juie of 1978. in Moscow. Ida Nudel was sentenced to 4 years of internal exile on charges of "malicious hooliganism." Her arrest and trial grew out of her protests of Soviet refusals to let her emigrate. I know that some of my colleagues met Ida Nudel during trips to the Soviet Union and they have been moved by her courage. To many in the Soviet Union she is known as the "Guardian Angel of Soviet Prisoners of Conscience." The following message to Ida Nudel was signed by the entire Beth El Hebrew Congregation.
