Mr. Speaker. I rise today to join with my colleagues in the House and concerned citizens around the world to urge Soviet authorities to free Ida Nudel. a woman of great courage and principle. from her 11year struggle to realize her dream of emigrating to Israel. Although Ida Nudel has returned from her 4year exile in Siberia. the Soviet Union continues to harass and intimidate her in hopes that she will surrender her tireless campaign for the rights of Soviet Jews. They have denied her legal residence in Moscow and Riga. and she remains homeless. but still committed to securing a visa to join her family in Israel. For 11 years. Ida Nudel has not only spoken out for her own rights and freedoms. but has fought on behalf of others who share her plight.
