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- Music By SHEL ROTT and VICKIE CARROLL • Weddings • Bar/Bat Mitzvas • Dances, Shows • Radio & T.V.

WARREN DEARBORN, MICH. * * * * * * * * * 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.
