With the demise of the Soviet Union. many Jews are for the first time able to consider the option of leaving. Israel. having been established as a haven for all Jews. is turning none away. Over 1 million immigrants are expected to arrive between 1990 and 1996. the largest wave of immigrants since the States creation. No one can deny that Israels need for access to capital is great. By extending these guarantees. we now can make good on our commitment to Israel. just as it has made good on its promise to accept the emIgTes. Will remain consistent with our longstanding policy of pushing the Soviet Union to allow free emigration of all its citizens. and of supporting successive Israeli Government attempts to bring Jews home. Mr. President. some have argued that we should not provide loan guarantees because we already spend too much on foreign aid.
