Mr. Speaker. today I join my colleagues to demonstrate my support for Ida Nudels struggle to leave the Soviet Union and emigrate to Israel. Ida Nudel is an extraordinary person. Sentenced to 4 years of internal exile because of a banner she hung from her apartment window which read. "KGB. Give Me a Visa to Israel." Ida Nudel was placed in a prison punishment cell where the Soviets attempted to strip her of her dignity. Remarkably. she has risen above this inhumanity to shine as a brilliant ray of hope. stirring the emotions in all of us who cherish liberty and freedom. Ida Nudel remains a proud human being and a proud Jew. She must be allowed to emigrate and live with her family in Israel. I urge the Soviet Union to grant this true champion of liberty an exit visa. She has completed a 4year exile term in a Siberian wasteland for "malicious hooliganism." Ida Nudel has suffered enough. Our support for her must remain as unwavering as her quest for freedom. I want an exit visa for Ida Nudel now.*
