A majority of the House cosponsored a resolution in the 98th Congress to move the United States Embassy to Jerusalem and thus recognize Israeli sovereignty over the entire city. A similar resolution was cosponsored by a majority of the Senate. (H.R. 4877 and S. 2031) Some prominent members of this administration appear to agree with meVice President DAN QUAYLE cosponsored the Senate resolution. as does HUD Secretary Jack Kemp who was on the House version. The Bush administration has recently made a freeze in new settlements in captured terdtories a major demand on Israel. and even threatened to withhold aid for refugee housing without the cutoff. In one swoop. the Bush administration reignited Israeli nationalism regarding the settlements and reopened a major sticking point in the coalition regarding negotiations with Palestinians. All this despite the fact that practically no Soviet Jews are moving into such territories.
