Mr. President. I am speaking on behalf of Naum Meiman. a Soviet refusenik who has been denied emigration for more than 10 years. Initially. Naum was refused an exit visa on grounds that he possessed "state secrets." Naum was a physicist by trade and performed calculations for the Soviet Union. However. after expressing his desire for emigration. he was forced to abandon his profession. Thus. the original reason for denial is no longer applicable since Naum has now surpassed the 10year statute of limitations for access to state matters. Naum Meiman is an elderly man with a limited number of years left. I strongly encourage the Soviet Union to allow Naums remaining years to be free ones. and grant him permission to live in the country he desires. I urge the Soviet Government to grant Naum Meiman an exit visa to Israel.*
