"As it reflects upon these
25 years of freedom, the
American Jewish commu-
nity has a right to feel a
great and heart-warming
sense of accomplishment, a
great pride in the dimen-
sions and compassion of its
humanitarian work and its
sacrifices on behalf of the
people of Israel.

focus on the past and dwell
on our achievements. For no
Jew can fail to feel deeply

"For while the people of
Israel must prepare for the
daily arrival of these new
immigrants, they must also
continue to meet the eco-
nomic pressures of sheer
survival. They must remain
prepared to defend their
cherished and hard-won free-
dom. That, too, is a daily
job. And the financial drain
on the people is overwhelm-
ing.
"This covenant—that when

the complete responsibility
for vital immigrant services
and humanitarian programs

an immediate and massive
amount of funds."
