The doubly tragic thing about all this. Mr. President. is that Israel is being deprived of funds and agricultural commodities now. at a time when she is absorbing thousands more refugees than the United States itself has so far been willing to accept. An estimated 80.000 to 90.000 refugees are expected to arrive in Israel in 1957. and the economic sanctions which we are already imposing upon that tiny nations strained economy will make the problem of resettlement all the more severe. Mr. President. several times lately I have had occasion on the Senate floor and elsewhere to protest the inactivity of the State Department in connection with the persecution of Jews in Egypt.
