Mr. President. the Soviet Union continues to promote its policy of increased openness. Despite recent promises. hundreds of thousands of Jews are anxiously awaiting permission to emigrate to the West. If the Soviet Government wants to demonstrate its sincerity about improving relations. it must allow refuseniks to emigrate. Naum Meiman Is among the Jewish citizens who have been denied exit visas year after year. In addition. he has recently lost his wife Inna. Inna Meiman was plagued with cancer. Her only hope was treatment available in the West. but the Soviets delayed her release until Innas illness had progressed too far.
