The Israeli Government has provided assurances that no American funds will be used for the settlement of Soviet Jews in the territories and that American funds will not be used to expand shekelfunded programs either. There is no reason to link further United States funding to Israeli settlement policies. With rising antiSemitism in the Soviet Union. the administration must do all it can to expedite resettling of these Jewish refugees and not hinder this effort. The PLO is delighted at the current turn of events. Instead of the United States clearly supporting our ally Israel. the PLO sees the administration applying heavy handed pressure.
