Mr. President. the Soviets argue that "all Jews who wanted to leave the Soviet Union have left. Family reunification has been completed. The decline in emigration in recent years is simply due to the fewer number of persons requesting exist visas." I am troubled by this statement. I have been involved and concerned with the Naum Meiman case for quite a few years. I know Naum. He is a Soviet refusenik who has repeatedly applied for an exit visa to leave Russia. He tried to get the best medical treatment for his wife when she had cancer. when she was allowed to leave the country for treatment. he was not allowed to join her. When she died he was not granted permission to attend her funeral.
