Mr. President. I rise today to introduce a resolution that calls upon the Government of the Yemen Arab Republic to lift its restrictions on YemeniJews and allow them freedom of unlimited and complete emigration and travel. Almost immediately after the birth of the State of Israel in 1948. Jews and Arab lands were targeted for discrimination and segregation. Those that did not have the chance to emigrate were subject to arbitrary and complicated legal procedures that governed every aspect of their existence. We have heard of the Jews of Iraq. Syria. and from the countries of North Africa. yet we must address the problems facing the 1.2001.500 remaining Jews of Yemen.
