I find the necessity for aid to Israel a compelling reason to support this legislation this year. With this in mind. I urge support for Congressman Dows amendment requiring the funds earmarked for Israel actually be spent for Israel. Additionally. I want to urge my distinguished colleagues to support Congressman VAWms amendment to the Foreign Assistance Act prohibiting loans and guarantees to any nation that imposes exorbitant emigration taxes on all those seeking to leave that country. Foreign assistance is not a simple issue involving only political and economic considerations. Again. a member of the world community has singled out a minority group for special harassment.
