President. the Soviet Union continues to promote its policy of greater openness. Boris Klotz. who has suffered psychological persecution at the hands of the Soviet Government. appealed to United States elected officials to help end his suffering. His pleas have finally been heard. and the Soviet Union has given Boris permission to emigrate. The Soviets have also released one of the prisoners of conscience. Yuli Edelshtein. I am extremely pleased with the increased number of refuseniks that have been issued exit visas. and with the release of numerous prisoners of conscience. I encourage the Soviets to continue with these positive steps. I sincerely hope that the Soviet Government does not continue to disregard the case of Naur Meiman during this period of change. Naum has been refused permission to emigrate to the West for over 10 years. He is in his seventies. and does not have many years left to live. The release of Naum would offer the Soviets an opportunity to demonstrate their sincerity about improving relations. I appeal to the Soviet Union to grant Naum Meiman permission to emigrate to the West.*
