Mr. President. I would like to draw my colleagues attention to the plight of Naum Meiman. Naum is a Soviet refusenik who has suffered tremendously in the past 10 years. Naum has fought tirelessly against the inhumane treatment accorded Jews in the Soviet Union. His struggle intensified when his wife. Inna. was diagnosed to have cancer. Irma was in desperate need for medical attention in the West. but the Soviet Government refused to issue her an exit visa. After much delay. Irma was released to the United States. Unfortunately. it was too late. Irma passed away here in Washington in February.
