As I have often stated. my support is founded in my appreciation for the friendship that has served both the United States and Israel so well. But my support rests also in my conviction that such an action. which would be undertaken at little cost to the taxpayer. is humanitarian in nature. It is intended to help Israel integrate into its society the hundreds of thousands of Soviet and Ethiopian Jews whose emigration to Israel we have consistently advocated. Mr. President. my support for this measure does not lessen my concern over the tension between the governments of the United States and Israel that was occasioned by differences on the loan guarantee issue.
