Mr. President. not long ago. I had the honor of participating in the annual dinner of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society [HIAS]. HIAS has. since its inception in 1880. helped more than 4 million Jews and tens of thousands of nonJews victimized because of religious or political beliefs in their native countries. HIAS has assisted these people in starting new lives in the United States and other democratic societies. The proud achievements of this agency can be traced back to the turn of the century when thousands of Jews fleeing Russias brutal czarist pogroms made the long voyage to America.
