Mr. Speaker. I join my colleagues on this day of international solidarity with Ida Nudel to express my outrage over the Soviet Unions continual harrassment visited upon her and all other Prisoners of Conscience in the U.S.S.R. This courageous woman has struggled for over 11 years to gain the freedom to emigrate to Israel. Four of those years were spent in forced internal exile under the harshest of conditions. When she was finally released in March of this year. Ida Nudel had hoped to return to her native Moscow. Her residence permit request was denied. Instead she moved on to Riga and once again went through the process of requesting residency status.
