U.S. grants aid the resettlement
of Jews from the Iron Curtain
Twelve years ago the
Congress initiated a pro-
gram providing assistance
for the resettlement of Jews
who left the Soviet Union.
They were categorized as
refugees. Refugee assis-
tance has been established
as part of American foreign
policy because of basic com-
passion for the oppressed
and also because it shows
firm support for the concept
of freedom of movement and
emigration.
The law enacted to help
with the cost of resettling
the Jewish emigrants from
the Soviet Union in Israel
was expanded in 1975 to
provide similar assistance
to refugees from other
Communist countries.
During the first four
years of substantial Jewish
emigration from the Soviet
Union — from 1972 through
1976 — the U.S. govern-
ment provided $155.2 mil-
lion in grants for this pur-

pose to the United Israel
Appeal (UIA). The UIA
transmitted these funds to
the Jewish Agency in
Jerusalem for programs of
resettlement administered
by the agency, which is the
UIA's exclusive operating
agent in Israel. Since 1973
till last year, U.S. grants to
the UIA for the resettle-
ment in Israel of Soviet
Jews and refugees from
other oppressing nations to-
taled $253 million.
The drastic curtailment
during recent years by the
Kremlin in issuing emigra-
tion visas to Jews has re-
sulted in reducing the U.S.
government grants to the
UIA. The allocation for
1983 was only $12.5 mil-
lion. This sum also covered
the cost of resettlement in
Israel of Jews from other
Communist countries and
the 7,000 Ethiopian Jews
who have reached Israel,
some 2,000 of them in 1983.
The anti-Jewish senti-
ments prevailing in the
Kremlin are graphically
illustrated by figures from
the Intergovernmental
Committee for Migration
(ICM), which receives U.S.
funding for the transport of
the Jewish refugees and
their baggage to Israel. The
UIA has received ICM
grants since 1973. The ICM
reports that during the last
four years a total of only
2,257 Soviet Jews reached
Israel, compared with the
peak of 36,000 Jews permit-
ted by the Soviet govern-
ment to immigrate to Israel
in 1973.
Jews emigrating from the
Soviet Union \ and other
Communist countries in
Eastern Europe — exclud-
ing Romania — arrive in
Vienna by train or airplane.
Up till 1982, they were
housed in a transit center
managed by the Austrian
Red Cross. Because of the
drastic decrease in the
number of Jews allowed to
leave the Soviet Union, the
number of Soviet Jews ar-
riving in Vienna is very
small. They are now ac-
commodated in hotels. The
cost to the Jewish Agency of
taking care of each person
during the stay in Vienna
was $332 in 1983 as com-
pared with $117 in fiscal
year 1981-1982. The reim-
busement from U.S. grants
is $100 per person.
The $12.5 million alloca-
tion by the United States to
the UIA in 1983 is one-half
of the sum given to the UIA
each year during the prev-
ious three years. More than
two-thirds of this sum was
expended last year for the
care and maintenance of
nearly 6,000 refugees resid-
ing in permanent absorp-
tion centers. The Jewish
Agency maintains 54 such
centers where immigrants
spend five to eight months
after their arrival in Vie-
nna. Due to the lack of
available housing, many of
the immigrants are cur-
rently spending as much as
18 months to two years' in
these absorption centers at
an approximate cost of
about $1.5 million a month.
U.S. grant funds also pro-
vide needed care for more
than 1,200 children resid-
ing in Youth Aliyah institu-
tions. Two-thirds of the
children are from Eastern
Europe and one-third from
Ethiopia and Iran. In 1983,
$1,6 million was spent on
maintaining the Youth
Aliyah institutions, the
entire sum being covered
from U.S. grant allocations.
Loans and grants were also
given from grant funds to
elderly, handicapped and
needy; also scholarships
and living allowances to
students in institutions of
higher learning.
