That would plainly be a violation of the 1968 Civil Rights Act in our own country. In a related issue. Secretary of State Bakers proposal that no housing loan guarantees under existing United States law be made available to Israel to house Soviet refugees unless Israel prevents any Jewsnot just Soviet refugeesfrom settling in the administered territories is very offensive. How can Secretary Baker support that redlining in the administered territories? The growth of antiSemitism in the Soviet Union makes it more urgent than ever that the United States not throw roadblocks in the way of emigration from the Soviet Union. Since the Bush administration has chosen to limit Soviet Jewish emigration to the United States. it is inexcusable that Secretary Baker should now throw intolerable obstacles in the way of emigration by Soviet Jews to Israel. Because I know Secretary Baker to be a decent. honorable. and unprejudiced human being. I hope that he is reconsidering his position on this issue.
