I firmly believe that we must stand by our ally in this difficult time and help to assure secure borders for Israel. Israel faces another challenge which further burdens her economy. There is a continued flow of refugees. including many Soviet Jews. who are settling In Israel. These people have to be integrated Into Israels society. For many years we have urged the Soviet Union to take a more liberal approach toward emigration. Now that it is happening we cannot leave these refugees alone. I think to earmark $25 million for the resettlement of Soviet. East European. and other refugees in Israol is the least we can do to help. Mr. Chairman. let me add some additional reasons which are important for support of the foreign aid appropriations bill.
