Mr. Speaker. after years of spearheading efforts to allow Soviet and Ethiopian Jews to immigrate to Israel. the United States must ensure that this process Is completed and that Israel remains a safehaven for persecuted Jews from around the world. Accordingly. I strongly and unequivocally support granting Israel $10 billion in loan guaranteeswithout conditionsas a matter of humanitarian aid for a dependable democratic ally. Without the immediate granting of these guarantees. Israel will simply be unable to cope with a massive influx of immigrants. In fact. the delay over these guarantees has already caused harm. Jews in grave danger in the former Soviet Union are choosing to stay where they are for fear that Israel will not be able to meet their elementary needs.
