She simply refuses to take "no" for an answer and will continue her efforts so long as she is able. At the same time. her 12year struggle is discouraging proof of the Soviet Governments refusal to comply with the Helsinki Accords which guarantee basic human freedoms. I call upon the Soviet Government to grant Ida the exit visa that she has fought so hard to obtain. The granting of the permit would be a signal to the international community that the Soviet Union will comply with agreements to which it is a signatory. Even if the Soviet authorities refuse her this permission. we can take heart that Ida Nudels efforts have had a profound impact on many other lives. She has given courage to many Soviet Jews who will not give up hope of finally emigrating to Israel where they will be free to practice their religion and culture as they have a natural right to do.*
