Speaker. I urge the U.S. Government to apply whatever pressure may be necessary to convince Austrian authorities to reverse their decision to close down the transfer facilities operating in Austria for Jewish immigrants from Russia. I implore Austrian officials to allow maintenance of the processing center for Jewish immigrants to Israel. Golda Meirs position on this matter is just and entirely reasonable. To close down badly needed facilities is submissive to blackmail and will only encourage terrorists to continue their lawless ways. Freedom to immigrants is no less precious than to Americans. It cannot and should not be subjected to barter or trade even at the cost of one life. After what the Austrians lost in World War II.
