As an early cosponsor of House Concurrent Resolution 107. I recognized the need to expand the avenues currently being used to alleviate their plight. House Concurrent Resolution 107 asks the President to do all in his power to express to appropriate foreign governments the severity of the dangers being faced by the Falashas. and the need to assist Ethiopian Jews through every available means to secure the right to emigrate freely. This last point is especially important. as the Ethiopian Government made emigration to Israel a treasonable offense in 1981. By adoption of the pending resolution. the House of Representatives can express its official concern of this serious situation. and I urge my colleagues to join us in this important human rights effort.
