I recently received a letter written by Inna Meiman. a Soviet woman who has been refused permission by the Soviet authorities to emigrate to Israel. Inna wrote this letter to her friend. Lisa Paul. a young Minnesota woman who went on a hunger strike to protest the Soviets treatment of Inna and her husband. Naum. This letter plainly and baldly states Innas deteriorating physical condition and is a plaintive cry for help. I ask that it be printed in the RECORD. I strongly encourage the Soviets to grant the Melmans permission to emigrate to Israel. The letter follows: DEAR LIsA: I have not written you for a long time. forgive me. I did not have the strength. believe me. not moral (emotional) or physical.
