ally dry, the Knesset was
told as it opened its summer
session last week with a de-
bate on aliya.
The immigration figures
were provided by Aharon
Uzan, the Minister of Ab-
sorption. The paucity of
aliya from the USSR was
the subject of a separate re-
port by Rafael Kotlowitz,
head of the Jewish Agency's
immigration and absorp-
tion department.
Knesset
members
spoke of an aliya "crisis"
because, despite the
marginal increase from
the West, overall figures
were low relative to the
Soviet immigration boom
of the middle and late
1970s.
Kotlowitz reported that of
the 114 Jews allowed to
leave the Soviet Union last
month, only 11 came to Is-
rael. He said that was the
lowest monthly figure since
the mid-1960s when the
Soviets first opened their
gates a crack. "In effect, a
month after the Jerusalem
Conference on Soviet
Jewry, we are now facing
the total end of Soviet emig-
ration," Kotlowitz said.
Leon Dulzin, chairman of
the Jewish Agency and
World Zionist Organization
Executives, continued to
blame HIAS for the high
neshira (drop-out) rate.
HIAS aids So"viet Jewish
emigres who opt to settle in
countries other than Israel
even though they leave
Russia with Israeli visas,
ostensibly to reunite with
relatives in Israel. Dulzin
said he would oppose "tough
measures against HIAS"
when the Jewish Agency
Assembly convenes here
next month.
Uzan said his ministry
was sponsoring a "door-
to-door" aliya
encouragement cam-
paign in France. He also
said one of the chief de-
terrents to aliya — the
high cost of housing in Is-
rael — was being
ameliorated. He said an
immigrant could now
buy an apartment on the
private market with a
mortgage loan covering
up to 95 percent of the
price.
But opposition MKs
sharply criticized the gov-
ernment's immigration
policies. Dov Zakin of
Mapam warned of possible
wholesale resignations
from the Knesset's immi-
gration and absorption
committee to protest the in-
effectiveness of Uzan's
ministry.
