The Meimans are a warm and caring couple who have been denied exit visas from the Soviet Union for no justifiable reason. The Meimans are elderly and ailing. Their one wish is to live out what is left of their lives together free in the West. Naum is 74 and desperately wants to see his daughter. Olga. who lives in the United States. Inna urgently needs cancer treatment only available in the West. We cannot allow the Soviets to treat the Meimans like captives. This infringement of their rights cannot be tolerated any longer. The Meimans deserve the best that life can offer. and I strongly encourage the Soviet authorities to grant them permission to emigrate.e
