We had a dispute over two issues: Whether and how much foreign aid we should give to what was then the Soviet Union and. of course. the Israeli loan guarantees. So I withheld the bill for a period of time. As a way of answering those Senators who are asking when foreign aid will come up. when the subcommittee might act. I would like to speak to the Senate for a few moments on that topic. Primarily. the timing revolves around the issue of Israelis request for loan guarantees to help absorb immigrants coming from the former Soviet Union. In my capacity as chairman of the Foreign Operations Subcommittee. I would like to speak about how I expect the process to unfold over the next few weeks.
