After the Second World War Israel provided a refuge for hundreds of thousands of homeless Jews. Today. she is looked upon as a haven by the many Jews living in the Soviet Union who yearn to live in a land where they will be granted the opportunity to practice freely their religion and give expression to their rich cultural heritagea land that will allow them to maintain and strengthen their Jewish identity. Israel has opened her doors to the Soviet Jews who have been allowed to emigrate but is encountering many problems in absorbing this large group of people. Employment opportunities must be made available. as well as adequate housing and educational facilities. I believe that we must assist Israel in resettling these people who are asking nothing more than to be accorded the basic rights which we Americans value so dearly.
