Speaker. time and time again I have stood before this Chamber to register my utter distaste for the manner in which the Soviet Government has treated Ida Nudel. Mrs. Nudel was released from Siberian exile recently. however the Soviet authorities have compounded her problems. not alleviated them. They refuse to issue her a residency permit for her old Moscow apartment nor allow her to stay with friends in another town. Thus. the Soviet authorities have effectively made it impossible for Ida Nudel to live comfortably in the Soviet Union. I feel strongly that this is the time to help obtain an exit visa for Mrs. Nudel. now. before it is too late.*
