Idas ordeal in Siberia may soon be over. I have learned that she may be released from internal exile on March 20. 1982. At that time she will again apply for an emigration visa. However. there are fears that the Soviet authorities may be laying the groundwork to levy additional charges against Ida. This could mean her transferral to a mental institution or labor camp. instead of her scheduled release later this month. Thus. it is critically important that we inform the Soviet Government that their continued refusal to allow Ida Nudel to emigrate from the Soviet Union is unacceptable to the U.S. Congress and the American people. I urge all of my colleagues to support this resolution.
