But concern for the Jewish population in the Soviet Union has not died down. and freshmen Members share the concerns of more senior Members who have spoken out about this istiue for years. The continuing repression of Soviet Jewry is exemplified by the recent treatment of Ida Nudel. Soviet authorities have made her a virtual refugee in the U.S.S.R. If any of my colleagues have doubts about the meaning and importance of Israels struggle for existence. I urge them to look at the facts of the Ida Nudel case. She has given up all security and all the comforts of life in a 10year struggle for permIssion to emigrate to Israel. rejoin her family. and live as a Jew. Becaupe people like Ida Nudel are being cenied their internationally recognized human rights. many of us in the 97th Congressional Class will continue to work on their behalf as long as we are Members of the House of Representatives.*
