Mr. President. Naum and Inna Meiman sit in their Moscow apartment. living each day with the hope that the Soviets will finally relent and grant them permission to emigrate to Israel. Inna has cancer of the neck that has reduced her days to painful confinement. Naurn. a brilliant mathemetician and physicist. can no longer practice has craft as he was fired over 10 years ago when he applied to emigrate. In the Soviet Union. once you are fired because you have applied to emigrate. you will most likely never be allowed to work in your field again. Naum and Irma are an elderly. harmless couple. The cost to the Sovi.ets in releasing the Meimans is negligible. The positive publicity the Soviets will receive is considerable. I strongly urge the Soviets to allow the Meimans to emigrate to Israel.e
