Mr. Speaker. the Foreign Affairs Committees inclusion in H.R. 16168 of an appropriation for assistance in the resettlement of Soviet Jews in Israel is to be highly commended. Congress should be striving toward more of this type of social assistance in our foreign aid programs. The extraordinary burden placed on Israel as a result of immigration by Soviet Jews and the problems these people have faced in their attempt to assimilate into Israeli society have been monumental. The following article will further recount the pitiful problems encountered by both Israeli and Soviet Jews. It illustrates the necessity of this appropriation.
