We are talking about humanitarian assistance. And we are talking about longstanding U.S. policy. Ever since the adoption of the JacksonVanik amendment. when Scoop Jackson made the free emigration of Soviet Jews a cornerstone of United StatesSoviet relations. we have pushed for relaxation of Soviet restrictions and have pledged our assistance for Israeli absorption.

While we hesitate. these Jewish families face the terrible danger of rising antiSemitism in many of the former Soviet Republics. We are also talking about loyalty.
