President. two very encouraging actionsone by a private organization and one by the Governmenthave brought hope to some of the worlds illhoused. On February 12. the Bnai Brith announced a speedup of its senior citizens housing program. which provides for lowrent units in nonprofit and nonsectarian projects constructed with Governmentinsured mortgage loans. And on February 16. the Department of States Agency for International Development guaranteed a $50 million loan to build 11.000 homes in Israel primarily for Jewish immigrants from the Soviet Union. I am pleased to note that the Bnai Brith housing program already includes a fully occupied project in WilkesBarre. Pa.. with another one under construction in Allentown.
