We tend to take these privileges for granted. however. and have come to believe that we deserve them. Soviet Jews Naum and Inna Meiman also deserve their freedom. The Meimans are an elderly. ailing couple who desperately want to emigrate to Israel. Inna is critically ill with cancer of the spine. She is in constant pain. and although Soviet doctors have performed four hazardous operations. te tumor continues to grow. Her only hope is that the Soviets will allow her to travel to the West to obtain experimental treatment. Naum is 74 years old and not in very good health. Since applying for an exit visa over 10 years ago. he has been subjected to constant harassment by the Soviet Government. Naum was forced to retire from his position as a mathematician and has been completely isolated from the scientific community. In addition. the Meimans telephone has been disconnected and much of their mail is confiscated. The Meimans deserve to live their final years free of pain and in peace. I strongly urge the Soviet authorities to grant the Meimans their freedom and permit their emigration to Israel.e
