The Meimans have been trying to leave the Soviet Union and join their daughter. Olga Plum. who is a constituent of mine in Colorado. The Meimans have repeatedly been denied emigration visas to seek medical treatment and to be reunited with their daughter. We in the Congress who have been working for years on the Meimans behalf are frustrated. Yet that frustration is minor compared to what the Meimans and many others must face every day. Today. I am compelled to speak of another family trying desperately to leave the Soviet Union. Inda Margulis struggles on. for the ninth year in a row. to convince Soviet officials to release her family and grant them exit visas. The Margulis family has received in return only empty promises. In 1975. Pinchos and Haya Margulis and their son Vladimir first applied to emigrate from the Soviet Union. They based their application on an invitation from Pinchos aunt in Denver. CO.
