Mr. President. Naum and Inna Meiman have endured harassment from Soviet officials because of their desire to emigrate to Israel. The Meimans dogged determination to emigrate has resulted in worldwide support for their plight. I have received letters from Paris. France. from Indiana. and from Illinois expressing deep concern for the Meimans and for Innas health. Inna has had four cancer operations and the prognosis is not good while under Soviet medical care. Western medical authorities have suggested treatment that could provide a cure. but without permission to emigrate. such treatment is only a dream. I implore Soviet officials to permit the Meimans to emigrate to Israel..
