It succeeded. Families were reunited and these people were brought to Israel. where they will spend the rest of their days. The purpose of this resolution is to pay tribute to those who made it possible. to encourage our own Government to make every effort to promote the cause of democracy in Ethiopia. to increase famine relief. and to make sure that all Ethiopians. including of course the handful of Jews who still remain. are granted the fundamental right of emigration. Along with commending the President. administration officials. and the Government of Israel. I also want to salute the private voluntary organizations who played such a vital role in processing immigration documents. contacting families in Israel. and providing food. clothing. and medical supplies to the thousands of Ethiopian Jews forced to wait in the capital. In particular. I want to cite the dedicated and tireless efforts of Nate Shapiro and Will Recant of the American Association of Ethiopian Jewry [AAEJ]. who have worked closely with the Congressional Caucus for Ethiopian Jewry on this issue since 1986.
