Mr. President. my friends Naum and Inna Meiman continue to be held captive in Moscow. For 10 years Soviet officials have denied them permission to emigrate to Israel. The Meimans are persecuted for expressing their desire to leave the Soviet Union. Inna is critically ill with cancer. Naum is a 75yearold man who once did "classified" work for the State. His work ended 25 years ago and his calculations are now outdated. Soviet authorities have denied the Meimans the right to live out their last days together in the land that they choose. The KGB has ransacked their apartment. The Soviets have also denied this couple the right to a phone in their home and confiscate much of their personal mail.
