Mr. President. on October 9. 1986. the House of Representatives passed a resolution which urges the Soviet Union to allow Naum and Inna Meiman to emigrate to Israel. The Senate has just done the same in passing House Concurrent Resolution 404. I want to commend my colleagues for their concern. The Congress of the United States could not send a stronger message of support of the Meimans to the Soviet Union. The Meimans troubles began when they applied to emigrate to Israel 10 years ago. Applying to emigrate from the Soviet Union results in termination of employment. ostracism from Soviet society and harassment by the Government. Inna is now critically ill with cancer. She desperately needs medical treatment only available to her in the West.
