Mr. President. I was deeply disturbed to learn of the Austrian Governments decision to succumb to the demands of extreme Arab terrorists and close the main. if not the only. transit facility for Soviet Jews emigrating to Israel. I find it inconceivable that violent threats of two armed terrorists could force the Austrian Government to reverse its humane policy and thereby jeopardize the fate of hundreds of thousands of Soviet refugees. This decision is reminiscent of the 1930s when refugees from Nazism were unable to flee Germany because few nations would serve as an intermediary to facilitate their escape. I am therefore offering an amendment to the foreign aid authorization bill. S. 2335. which states that it is the sense of the Senate that the President take the immediate and determined steps to which I have earlier referred.
