Mr. President. imagine living without a telephone. Imagine the time that it would take to accomplish even the simplest task. When a person is ill. the telephone is no longer an item of convenienceit is an essential method of communication in emergencies. Two close friends. Naum and Inna Meiman. have been trying to emigrate from Moscow to Israel for over a decade. Since their initial application. the Soviet Government has harassed them continuously. Naum. a physicist. was fired and prohibited from working in his field. Both Naumu and Inna have been followed. Their home has been ransacked. The Soviets most recently disconnected the Meimans telephone.
