The fact is that when the President of the Soviet Union makes the statement that he does. perhaps without intending to do so. this submits a message that there is a perception that there is a government policy in Israel to settle these Jews in the West Bank and Gaza. and that is not the case. That is contrary to the Israeli policy. it is contrary to what is occurring. When the President of the United States and the Secretary of State made clear. as I compliment them for having done. that it continues to be American policy to encourage the unfettered immigration of Soviet Jews. as has been American policy now consistently. this is a message that the leadership of the Soviet Union must hear as well. This is not designed to be a message at all encouraging immigration .in the West Bank and Gaza.
