Mr. President. I am pleased to inform my colleagues that two American citizens in the Soviet Union received permission to emigrate yesterday. Such actions by the Soviet Government lends credibility to its claims of reform. Soviet reforms must not be limited to a few releases. however. We must continue to put pressure on the Soviet Government until every citizen who wishes to emigrate is allowed to do so. Naur Meiman is among the many refuseniks who desire to live life in the West. In the past 10 years Naum has experienced numerous refusals. persecution by the Soviet Government. and the death of his wife Irma.
