On February 28 of this year. an article appeared in the regional newspaper which carried slanders and malicious allegations against this courageous woman. I was glad to be able to sign a letter to Secretary Brezhnev protesting this type of treatment and malignment which has no basis. I asked in that letter that Secretary Brezhnev personally intervene in this case and terminate Ida Nudels exile in Siberia and allow her to emigrate to Israel. During the first session of the 96th Congress. I cosponsored House Concurrent Resolution 202. expressing the sense of Congress that the Soviet Union should release Ida Nudel from exile and allow her to emigrate. I know from all of the correspondence I have received from my constituents that this case has aroused widespread sympathy and concern. I have assured those who have contacted me about Ida that I will not forget her.
