New York (JTA) — Soviet
Jewry and refugee resettle-
ment agencies have given
mixed reviews to the latest
moves by the U.S. State and
Justice departments to ease a
backlog of Soviet Jewish
refugee applicants in Moscow
and Rome.
Among other actions
described in a recent memo,
the State Department said it
would "front-load" the
number of Soviet refugee
slots available for the entire
fiscal year 1989, making all of
those slots — as many as
14,000 — open immediately.
Each year, Congress sets a
region-by-region quota on the
number of immigrants to be
allowed to enter the United
States as refugees. Ordinari-
ly, an entire fiscal year's
quota of regional refugee ad-
missions is distributed in
quarterly installments.
The need for such extraor-
dinary measures as front-
loading stems from the influx
of Soviet Jews and other
minorities permitted to
emigrate this year. Since
January, some 15,640 Jews
have been permitted to leave
— nearly double last year's
total and more than 15 times
the number allowed out the
year before.
The number of refugee slots
allocated by Congress did not
keep pace. As a result, U.S.
immigration officials in Rome
have denied refugee status to
as many as 179 Soviet Jewish
emigres since September.
Hundreds more applications
are pending.
Jewish organizations called
the denials a betrayal of U.S.
human rights guarantees to
Soviet Jews.
The Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society, the Union of Councils
for Soviet Jews and the
Washington office of the
Council of Jewish Federations
all welcomed the front-
loading procedure. CJF said
in a statement that the move
"will help relieve pressures
enormously."
But Karl Zukerman, ex-
ecutive vice president of
HIAS, was less enthusiastic
about the government's state-
ment that it would also con-
sult with Congress about
reallocating to the Soviet
refugee sphere 3,000 unused
slots currently reserved for
Vietnamese political refu-
gees. The slots are open
because Vietnamese officials
have yet to follow through on
the promised release of
thousands detained in so-
called "re-education camps."
"While we appreciate the
increase, it is a mistake to
take it from other regions."
The chairman of an um-
brellagroup of refugee agen-
cies also objectd to the
reallocation process. "It's too
bad there has to be this kind
of jostling from one region to
another," commented Dr.
Donald Larsen, executive
director of the Lutheran Im-
migration and Refugee Ser-
vice.
Micah Naftalin, national
director of the Union of Coun-
cils, said he understands the
concern of HIAS and others
that Vietnamese are being
"traded off" for Soviets..
"However, it is my impression
that we're not trading them
off, but borrowing," he said.
"There is an assumption
among all of us that when
Congress returns in January,
they'll straighten it out."
