President. I think what Senator INOUYE and Senator KASTEN have done. and many of us who are cosponsors. it is important for us. among other things. to live up to our responsibilities. We have properly pushed the Soviet Union to permit people to emigrate. but we have in the United States restricted the number of people who can come in. There is only one other place they can go. and that is to Israel. I happen to differ with the settlements policy of the Government of Israel in terms of the Gaza Strip and West Bank. but only 1.6 percent of the Soviet immigrants are being settled in those areas. so that is an issue that has been blown out of all proportion. I think. secondly. speaking candidly. it has not been well handled by the administration. You do not punch your friends in the nose publicly.
