AMBASSADOR: I am disheartened at the decision of your Government to close the Schoenau Castle Transit Camp in response to Arab terrorist activity. While I appreciate Austrias difficult position in attempting to save the lives of innocent hostages. I find no justification for the order terminating the processing of Jewish emigrants at Schoenau Castle. For years Schoenau Castle has symbolized a refuge for Jewish people emigrating to Israel to fulfill their national and religious identities. Cessation of activities at Schoenau would place extreme hardships upon those people emigrating from lands of religious oppression to religious freedom in Israel. Let me assure your government that as a Member of Congress 1 will take all possible steps to encourage future United States participation and cooperation in assisting Jewish refugees. I urge Chancellor Krelsky to rescind his order closing Schoenau. and honor Austrias commitment to neutrality and free passage for the worlds citizens. Very truly yours.
