Mr. President. yesterday President Bush announced that he is prepared to move ahead with loan guarantee assistance for refugees in Israel. I want to commend the President for this statement of support for Israels mission of humanity. though in my view it is long overdue. I also want to urge my colleagues to move ahead quickly with legislation to implement this critical program. Mr. President. it was only a year and a half ago that the Israeli population found itself under attack by Iraqi Scud missiles. Since that time. there have been dramatic changes in the political climate of the Middle East.
