Speaker. the lives of hundreds of thousands are hanging in the balance. Instability has long meant persecution for Jews in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. For years. we have been on their side. working to save as many as possible by arguing for full implementation of the Helsinki accords and open emigration policies. No one can say with any certainty what the former Soviet Union will look like in the near future. Who knows whether Jews will be able to emigrate a year from now? But we do know that we have an historic opportunity to ensure the safety of massive numbers of Jews in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe by approving the loan guarantees. Now. more than ever. we must ensure that Israel is able to perform its vital mission of saving Jews fleeing oppression everywhere in the world.
