Israel. from its beginning. has been. and I am certain will continue to be. a staunch friend and ally of the United States. It is a lonely citadel of democracy and freedom in an area of the world which is devoid of these basic concepts of humanity and government. Today. the people of Israel and their Government stand ready to receive the thousands of Jews wishing to emigrate from the Soviet Union. We know too well of their plight and persecution. Today. on this 25th anniversary. It would be most fitting to again voice our concern to the Soviet Union regarding their emigration policies and most strongly urge. in the sense of decency and human dignity. that those desiring to emigrate be allowed to do so without any impediment or condition whatsoever.
