Mr. Speaker. I join my colleagues in the Houseand thousands around the worldin demanding that the Soviet Government allow Ida Nudel to freely emigrate following her release from internal exile. Our protest is aimed at securing only this small measure of decency from Soviet authorities. Ida Nudel has distinguished herself as a leading woman dissident in the Soviet Union. Her historya story of personal courage and state persecutionis known to us all. What began as a simple attempt to emigrate grew into a tireless campaign of conscience. Our efforts are to insure that Ida Nudels story does not end in despair. Ida Nudel was banished to Siberian exile not because she pursued her own desire for freedom but because she represented the interests of others so well.
