Mr. Speaker. the SyrIan Consulate at New York. when asked to visa a passport of a United States citizen of Jewish faith. will brazenly state. "I am very sorry. but we have instructions not to grant visas to members of the Hebrew faith." The Lebanese Consulate is more polite. but just as firm in its refusal. The Iraq Consulate will say that the Arab League Constitution forbids a visa to any Jew. and Iraq is a member of the League. Submissively. our passport division of the Dulles State Department warns that American Jews will be denied the right to visit Arabian countries. The American Export Lines warns that not only American citizens of Jewish faith. but anyone with a Jewish nameJew or gentilewill be excluded from their cruises that touch Arab ports.
