Mr. President. Naum and Inna Meiman are Soviet Jews who want to emigrate to Israel. Inna is critically ill with cancer and requires treatment that is only available in the West. Naum is a 74yearold man who once worked as a physicist. Since he applied for his exit visa. however. the Soviet Government has kept him confined to his apartment and isolated him from the scientific community. The Soviets have persecuted the Meimans persistently. Their telephone has been cut off and much of their mail has been confiscated. The Meimans have done nothing illegal. yet the Soviets have taken away their basic rights.
