Delaware. Maryland regional council of the American Jewish Committee. who also express their deep concern about this situation. The American Jewish Committee is asking that our Government act as spokesman to the Iraq Government in calling for permission of the remaining Jews to emigrate and for our Government to offer asylum for these unfortunate people. Mr. Speaker. it is apparent that the Iraqi Government and the other Arab governments do not want the Jews in their countriesexcept for use as scapegoats. These people are all children of God. as we all are and it is imperative that the United Nations. our own Government and all governments of good conscience request the Arab nations to offer a gate of freedom for these people rather than the present offer of death as relief from their existence. These people should be allowed to emigrate to those countries that want to accept them. Mr. Speaker. the dignity of man. the concern that must exist and be displayed by civilized peoples and nations for their fellow human beings. demands no less than an insistence that the Jews remaining in Arab countries be allowed to leaveto emigrate to countries that respect this dignity and will welcome them.
