Many prominent refuseniks have been granted permission. and It appears there is better communication between the United States and the Soviet Union. Meanwhile. we must not think that the problem of the refuseniks has been solved. Over 200.000 Jews remain in the Soviet Union waiting to emigrate. Until every Soviet refusenik has been granted an exit visa. we cannot completely rejoice. Naum Meimans case must be resolved before we can feel success on this important human rightsissue. My friend. Naum. has been denied an exit visa for too long. therefore being denied his basic human rights to live and pray as he desires. He will begin a new year. on January 1. with the hopes that this will be a better year than the lastthat the new year will bring him the freedom to leave the Soviet Union. We must make every effort to bring him this happiness. We can rejoice over our successes of the past. but we must remember the work that lay ahead. I implore the Soviet officials to grant Naum an exit visa immediately. When refuseniks. such as Naum. are allowed to live where they want. then we can rejoice in the New Year.e
