Ida Nudel is a brave. courageous woman. Her story is one of great personal courage and heroism. She has endured years of hardship inflicted on her by the Soviet Government in order to exercise her basic human right to emigrate. All of us involved in the Soviet Jewry movement feel strongly about the plight of Ida Nudel. 139 of my colleagues have cosponsored this resolution. We are calling on the Government of the Soviet Union to accept Ida Nudels visa application and allow her to emigrate with no further harassment or abuse. It is time the Soviet Union as a member of the international community lived up to the principles contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. and the final act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. We must demonstrate to the Soviet Union that we will not cease our efforts until Ida Nudel. and every Jew who desires to emigrate. is given permission to do so. We will continue to point out instances of Soviet noncompliance with international agreements until basic religious and cultural rights are given to all those who reside in the Soviet Union. Again.
