On that day. Israel took its proper place among the nations of the world. Since that date. it has given sanctuary to every Jewish person who sought relief. and almost 700.000 immigrants came into that country in 44 months. This placed upon the population of Israel grave responsibilities. It did not fail these people who were looking for a haven of refuge. and its steady progress is positive proof of its development. The Eightysecond Congress of the United States should be proud of its record In having voted $50.000.000 for the relief and resettlement of refugees entering Israel and provided approximately $15.000.000 in economic aid. These funds are being wisely disbursed by the Government of Israel and are being used for food. fuel. power. irrigation. agricultural and industrial and communications equipment. Israel is building on a sound foundation and so today. onits fourth anniversary. on behalf of the people of the Twentysixth Congressional District of New York.
