Mr. President. I am heartened to see the Senate concur in adoption of House Concurrent Resolution 330 calling for the emigration from the Soviet Union of Ida Nudel. I know that all of my colleagues share my interest and my concern for her fate. Ida Nudel has been seeking to leave the Soviet Union to rejoin her sister in Israel for 11 years now. Frustrated in her quest. she became a mainstay of support. assistance. and hope for other Soviet Jewish "refuseniks." For her humanitarian courage. she was arrested in 1978. convicted of alleged hooliganism. and sentenced to 4 years of internal exile.
