President. I have made a daily statement on the plight of Inna and Naum Meiman since March 6. 1986. Naum and Inna are Soviet Jews who have been refused permission to emigrate to Israel. Inna is critically ill with cancer and Naum is getting no younger. He is 74. Todays Washington Post carries an article written by Celeste Bohlen entitled "Ailing Refuseniks Seek Aid." The subtitle is "Moscow Denies Visas to Cancer Victims." The story focuses on Naum and Inna Meiman. Naum and Inna have taken an enormous risk by going public with their story. The Soviet Government does not look kindly on those who make the Soviets appear in a bad light. The Soviets will continue to get "bad press" for not allowing Naum and Inna Meiman to emigrate to receive badly needed medical care. The easiest solution for the Soviets is to let Naum and Inna go to Israel. I ask that the article from the Post be printed in the RECORD.
