Mr. President. I have made a statement about the plight of Inna and Naum Meiman every day that the Senate has been in session since March 6. 1986. The Meimans are friends of mine in the Soviet Union who have been denied permission to emigrate to Israel. Some have asked me why I have chosen such an unorthodox method of publicity for the Meimans. The answer is that devices that worked in the past have not proven effective in recent times. There are many excuses that the Soviets offer when pressed to explain why they slammed the exit doors on Soviet Jews.
