Mr. President. I would like to draw my colleagues attention to the plight of a Soviet refusenik. Naum Meiman. For over 10 years. Naum and his family have been the victims of Soviet discrimination and persecution. Naum is an original founder of the Helsinki Watch Commission. and he has fought relentlessly on behalf of human rights in the Soviet Union. He and his wife Irma applied numerous times to emigrate to the West. but were continuously denied exit visas. Naum has recently experienced the tragic loss of his beloved wife. Inna was plagued with cancer. Her only hope for survival was treatment in the West.
