Friedman that his wife is suffering from an acoustic neuronomia. or some other cerebello pontine angle tumor. In the absence. however. of laboratory test and a CT scan. neither of which are available in the Soviet Union. this diagnosis cannot be confirmed. Dr. Friedman has invited Dr. and Mrs. Tufeld to come to Denver so that she can be treated. Their visa. however. has been denied by the Soviet Government. I am asking that my colleagues join me in petitioning the Soviet Government to reconsider their decision and allow Mrs. Tufeld to come to Denver for medical treatment so that her life might be saved.*
