Mr. Speaker. a constituent has called a valuable article appearing in the August 25 New York Times to my attention. Written by Amnon Rubinstein. dean of the School of Law of Tel Aviv University. it brings some needed balance to much that we hear concerning the plight of the refugees in the Middle East.

The treatment accorded to the refugees who fled into Israel is a startling contrast to that of those who fled into the Arab States. a point we must surely keep in mind as we consider future American policy toward the Middle East. I believe my colleagues would benefit by the entire article. and I insert it into the RECORD at this point:
