Mr. Speaker. a request is expected from the Government of Israel In September for loan guarantees from the United States to assist them In the massive responsibility of providing housing to the thousands upon thousands of refugees whom they are helping begin new lives. The focus in recent years has been on the large number of Soviet Jews seeking the right to emigrate to Israel. and recent changes In Soviet policies. Including the new emigration law which is set to be fully implemented In 1993. have dramatically increased the number of Soviet Jews able to leave the Soviet Union for Israel. However. at the end of May. I had the unique opportunity to observe firsthand the almost miraculous rescue of Ethiopian Jews from that war torn and Impoverished nation.
