Mr. Speaker. I rise to speak of a matter of some urgency. and that is the $400 million that Congress voted for loan guarantees for the State of Israel last May. These loans are desperately needed. because there are thousands and thousands of Soviet emigrants who are streaming into Israel. and. as the Scud missiles fall. they still must be housed and taken care of. This Congress. recognizing that. has voted for the loan guarantees. Yet the delay continues. Twentynine Members and I signed a letter to Secretary Baker a month ago. still the delay continues. I was distressed over the weekend.
