So if there is a concern as to Israels internal economic situation. it may well be that there could be an arrangement worked out to satisfy any conditions which the United States Government might have. So if economic fungibility considerations are really the reason for opposition to loan guarantees. that certainly is a negotiable issue. When the Senator from West Virginia points out that immigration fell from 450.000 in 1991 to 175.000 and there had been no adjustment in the figures. there again there might be an adjustment if that were to be a realistic factor which separated U.S. policy in this respect. However. it should also be noted that the uncertain economic conditions in Israel as a result of the delay in loan guarantees are probably a significant factor in the drop in immigration figures. When the Senator from West Virginia talks about two Patriot missile batteries having been allocated to Israel for $117 million. I would suggest that the United States of America has never made a better investment than that $117 million.
