Mr. President. during the final hours of the 1st session of the 98th Congress this body considered and passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 55 regarding the plight of Ethiopian Jews. This concurrent resolution calls on the President to express the concern of the United States for the welfare of Ethiopian Jews and. in particular. their right to emigrate freely. It also asks the President to seek ways to assist the longpersecuted Jews of Ethiopia. Senate Concurrent Resolution 55 is a timely and significant resolution. and I think it entirely fitting that its message be reiterated at every appropriate opportunity. At the turn of this century there were more than 250.000 Jews living in Ethiopia.
