President. I would like to call attention to the case of Naum Meiman. He is a Soviet refusnik who has been refused permission to emigrate to Israel. For over 10 years. Mr. Meiman has expressed his desire to leave the Soviet Union. The Helsinki Watch Movement. to which the Soviet Union is signatory. grants freedom of emigration and allow individuals to choose their place of residence. The movement also grants freedom of religion. By not allowing Naum Meiman to emigrate to Israel and subjecting him to mental cruelty. the Soviet Union is violating the Helsinki Watch Movement. I strongly urge the Soviet Government to illustrate their desire to improve United StatesSoviet relations and allow Naum Meiman an exit visa. It is time for Naum to live in peace.e
