I must continue this "vigil" as the Meimans remain captive in Moscow. Naum and Inna are Soviet Jews. They have applied for emigration visas to Israel. but Soviet officials have repeatedly refused their request. The Meimans dogged determination to emigrate has resulted in worldwide support for their cause. I have received letters from officials in several Western countries as well as the United States expressing deep concern for the Meimans. Their friends and family and many Members of the House and Senate have called on the Soviet Union to grant emigration visas to this refusenik couple. The Meimans have suffered long enough. We cannot tolerate the abuse of their basic right to decide where they want to live.
