My colleague. the gentleman from Now Jersey has stated antl I will not repeat how Israel cooperated in the recent war in the Persian Gulf. But beyond that. for decades Israel has been a trusted friend. a friend that we could rely on. the democracy in the Middle East. and for years the only democracy in the Middle East. It is utterly appropriate that we help out friend and ally to assist the Soviet refugees to whom we gave our specific pledge of freedom for decades. The President has wanted to place conditions on the loan guarantees. I believe it is inappropriate to apply political conditions to what is essentially humanitarian aid.
