Mr. President. many of my colleagues are preparing to go to the Soviet Union this month. I would like to draw their attention to the plight of Naum Meiman. Naum has been a Soviet refusenik for over 10 years. He has struggled endlessly to end the discrimination and harassment accorded Jews in the Soviet Union. Although he has applied numerous times to emigrate to the West. the Soviets continue to deny him an exit visa. Naum recently lost his dear wife Inna. Inna suffered from cancer. and she was in critical need of treatment available only in the West. The Soviet Union delayed Innas release. and her condition worsened.
