Mr. President. my friends. Naum and Inna Meiman. desperately want to leave the Soviet Union. Since applying for exit visas over 10 years ago. the Meimans have been subjected to constant harassment and denial of their basic rights. Naum. who was trained as a physicist. was fired from his job and isolated from the scientific community. He is 74 years old and wants to be reunited with his only daughter. Olga. who now lives in the West. Inna. Naums wife. is suffering from cancer. She urgently requires medical treatment that is available only in the West. Although the Meimans have gone through the proper procedures for application many times.
