President. I join with many of my colleagues in voting for the Lautenberg resolution. I would like to comment on what I believe the term "appropriate" means. where the language is "the United States Government should support appropriate loan guarantees to Israel for refugee absorption." I would like to comment on what the term "appropriate" means and what I hope we will see occur in the Middle East in the coming years. It should be stated that loan guarantees for Israel are needed to help absorb the hundreds of thousands of Jewish refugees from the former Soviet Union and Ethiopia. It is my desire that these refugees have homes in which to live. schools in which to learn. roads on which to drive. and Jobs at which to work. This we can all agree upon. It would seem that we also should be able to agree upon finding some way to bridge the gap between Israel and its Arab neighbors in order to reach a lasting peace accord in this troubled and volatile region.
