Naums mathematical calculations were completed over 30 years ago at the dawn of the atomic age. These calculations have been neither secret nor of any significance to anyone anywhere for a long time. When Naum applied to emigrate. however. Soviet authorities informed him that because of his former classified work. it had been decided never to let him emigrate. Authorities would not tell Naum who decided his fate or when. In fact. it is Naums life sentence that is a secret. It is also a secret why the Soviet Government continues to hold the Meimans captive. Of what use are the 74yearold mathematician and his cancerridden wife and why are the Soviets going to such lengths to keep them from emigrating? It is not a secret. however. the cruel and unnecessary treatment the Meimans have had to endure as refuseniks. I strongly urge the Soviet Government to allow the Meimans permission to emigrate to Israel.o
