Speaker. today we once again join the evergrowing number of voices demanding freedom for Ida Nudel. Her case is a glaring example of the Soviet Unions failure to honor its international human rights commitments. We must call attention to her plight and remind civilized nations around the world that she. and countless others. have been continually harassed and denied the right to emigrate as guaranteed by the Helsinki accords. In 1971. Ms. Nudel first applied for emigration from the Soviet Union. This request was denied. allegedly because of her knowledge of "state secrets." At this time she began her efforts to help care for and support jewish prisoners who had been jailed for their beliefs. For the next 7 years.
