The potential for growth and prosperity in both of our countries from cooperation in these fields has only been partially realized. Israel. however. still faces many challenges in the near future. By the end of 1991. some 380.000 Jews. primarily from the Soviet Union and Ethiopia. had immigrated to Israel. Hundreds of thousands of Jews remaining in the former Soviet Union may also choose to live in Israel. Israel will benefit for the skills and talents that these immigrants bring. but the country faces serious absorption problems. As the United States encouraged the resettlement of these Jews in Israel. we have a moral commitment to assist Israel with absorption through provision of loan guarantees. Israel needs peace in order to prosper.
