Mr. Speaker. 4 years ago Soviet authorities exiled Jewish refusenik Ida Nudel to the cold wasteland of Siberia. But no frozen prison can chill a heart that burns for freedom. Thus. Ida Nudel. who has fought since 1970 for her freedom. still fights for that same right today: for the visa to Israel that will mean freedom. Ida Nudels battle for freedom has carried her far beyond herself. Years of caring and providing for other Jewish prisoners also persecuted for their beliefs testifies to her selflessness. Her actions while in exile fill her heart. as it fills our hearts now. with extraordinary feelings.
