But I believe that there is no more appropriate vehicle than this one. The bill before the Senate is intended to help the United States consolidate the gains of our policy toward the Soviet Union for the past 45 years. This amendment will complement that objective. by helping Israel absorb and resettle hundreds of thousands of new immigrants from the former Soviet Union. Secretary of State James Baker. appearing on television recently. described the importance of the Russian aid package as folows: "Having fought the cold war and spent trillions of dollars to win it * * * we really should show that well be there for those people." Let me paraphrase the Secrearys statement and say that having fought for decades to free Soviet Jews. now that they are free. we must show that we are there for them too. That being said. our obligations are clear.
