The Marxist regime in Ethiopia. through a policy of forced assimilation. is actively seeking to destroy the faith. customs and traditions of the Falashas. However. at great risk to their personal safety. the 25.000 remaining Jews in Ethiopia continue to proudly observe their spiritual beliefs. House Concurrent Resolution 107 directs the President to promote greater international awareness of the plight of the Ethiopian Jews and specifically calls for ways to assist these people in their ongoing efforts to emigrate freely. The resolution is not opposed by the administration. I commend the sponsor of the resolution and the sponsor of the amendment for their leadership on this issue and I urge my colleagues to unanimously approve both measures.
