I would not want to wait for the time when the crisis is upon us to begin consideration of such legislation. I want it done before. so that we stand in readiness when the Soviet chains are removed. I am also studying the possibility of introducing legislation whereby the new seed immigrant is welcome. By "new seed" I mean not those who are immediate relatives or who have special skills or who come here to be reunited with families. I mean rather the new seed like the Immigrant of old who came to this land with a kind of lonely courage to help shape our destiny. That kind of legislation. too. will help the Jews of Russia because. after these many years. there are no close relatives. or sons and daughters to whom they can turn within this country. certainly not in sufficient numbers to be of any significant help. Wherever Jews have been resettled. be it in the United States.
