Soviet refusal to let them receive treatment abroad is repulsive. I would like to submit to the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD a letter from these refuseniks which poignantly describes their plight. I strongly urge the Soviet Government to allow the Meimans to emigrate to Israel. The letter follows: We. Inna KitrosskayaMeiman. Tatiana KheifetzBogomolnaya. Benjamin Charny and members of our families have joined in a group to make people of the world aware of our grave situation and to plead with them for help. We are refuseniks. who. while waiting for many years for permission to emigrate to Israel for reunification with our families were striken with cancer. All pain and suffering that we have to bear because of our disastrous illness is aggravated by multiple stresses of our life as refuseniks. After applying for emigration visas all of us lost jobs. we are separated from our immediate relatives living now in Israel. USA and Canada. Some of us have gone through all kinds of harassment. such as searches. house arrests. shadowing. interrupted telephone and post communication.
