I supported that. Additional aid to Israel. too. was approved last spring. but only at congressional insistence. And now the administration has balked at being asked to guaranteenot to provide. but simply to guaranteeloans to be used to settle these poor Soviet immigrants as they are fleeing from what used to be the Soviet Union. By delaying consideration and then opposing loan guarantees for Israel. the administration has accomplished little. Tension in the region has increased. The peace process is stalled. Saddam Hussein is still in power. And there are still hundreds of thousands of Jews in the former Soviet Republics who wish to emigrate to Israel. Mr. President. this is not a diplomatic backroom shellgame.
