Ninety-three congressmen, as well as Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley and actress Jane Fonda, urged Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev to let dissident Ida Nudel emigrate to Israel. They said they have heard that Nudel has cancer and asked that she be allowed to join her sister, her only living relative. Nudel, 54, has repeatedly been denied an exit visa by Moscow on grounds that she was exposed to “state secrets” when she worked as an accountant for the Ministry of Hygiene.
