Since 1971. Ms. Nudel has been trying to emigrate to Israel to join her sister and husbandher only living relatives. Her desperation to leave for Israel in the face of continued Soviet refusal to grant her exit permission led her to hang a banner outside her Moscow apartment in June 1978 with the simple plea "KGB. Give Me My Visa." Soviet authorities responded by giving her 4 years of exile in Siberia for her humanitarian request which they labeled evidence of "malicious hooliganism." She has now served 2 years of her 4year term under the harshest and most difficult of circumstances. Her health is deteriorating as she has been unable to receive the proper medical treatment for her longstanding heart and kidney ailments. The tragedy is that we must continue to speak on the floor of the Senate of the injustices and inhumanities that the U.S.S.R. is perpetuating against its own people.
