This report shall specifically address the commitments made to the United States Government by Israel in regard to settlements policies in conjunction with the $400 million loan guarantees. Mr. President. successive United States administrations have opposed the expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied territories. The assurances Secretary Baker obtained from Israel regarding the $400 million loan guarantees have now highlighted an important aspect of Israels settlement practices: even when the Israeli Government has not encouraged Soviet Jewish refugees to settle in the occupied territories. the higher subsidies provided for settling in the occupied territories make it more financially attractive to do so. Mr. President.
