Speaker. I rise in strong support of the resolution before the House. and would especially like to commend the distinguished chairman of our Foreign Affairs Committee. the gentleman from Florida. and our ranking minority member. the gentleman from Michigan and the district chairman of the Subcommittee on Human Rights. the gentleman from Pennsylvania for their leadership in moving this bill to the floor just prior to President Reagan and Secretary of State Shultz departure for Iceland tomorrow. House Concurrent Resolution 404 expresses the sense of Congress that the Soviet Union should immediately provide for the emigration of Dr. Naum Meiman and his extremely ill wife. Dr. Irina KitrosskayaMeiman. This measure also reiterates its strong faith and support of the Helsinki Final Act and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. as well as the precepts of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. Additionally. this bill urges the resolution of the many divided family and emigration cases which have been the subject of so many efforts by Members of Congress. Dr. Naum Meiman and his wife Inna. have been refuseniks for many years.
