The fence-mending by the two administration figures was occasioned in part by what NCSJ's chairwoman, Shoshana Cardin, called an "unfortunate" statement the U.S. coordinator for ref- ugee affairs, Jewel Lafon- tant, made last week during testimony before a House subcommittee. Speaking Sept. 13, Lafon- tant said Jews denied refu- gee status by the United states "can always return to Russia in these days of glas- nost" or can go to Israel. Lafontant, who was at the meeting with Cardin and other NCSJ leaders said her statement was misunderstood. She said she was merely trying to define the legal status of Soviet Jewish emigrants, not a new policy denying them access to the United States. As of Oct. 1, all applica- tions for U.S. refugee visas must be made at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, rather than in Rome, where many Soviet Jews who emigrate on Israeli visas apply to settle in the United States instead. The deputy secretary conceded, however, that there is a difficult situation, since the increased flow of emigrants exceeds the allot- ted refugee slots. But he said it is his top priority to expedite the im- migration to the United States of the Jews in Rome and Vienna and see to it that the situation does not reoccur. Cardin observed that the new U.S. policy means Jews still will be able to come to the United States. But it may take longer, and more Jews might decide to go to Israel rather than wait, she said. Thornburgh told Agudat that he continues to support creation of a special im- migration category for up to 30,000 emigres who may not be eligible for refugee status. But meanwhile, he has or- dered the U S Immigration and Naturalization Service to make an "immediate re- evaluation" of 4,000 cases of Soviet Jews refused refugee status, some of them strand- ed in Italy for 18 months. Eagleburger pointed out that Soviet Jews who do not qualify for refugee status can still enter the United States under public interest parole status. But it does not provide financial assistance for immigrants. • Welcome baby U.S. Says Soviet Jews Needn't Return To USSR Washington (JTA) — Top Bush administration offi- cials are trying to reassure Jewish leaders here that the new procedure for issuing U.S. refugee visas to Soviet Jewish emigrants will not reduce their options or force them to return to the Soviet Union when the policy goes into effect next month. Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger met last week with leaders of the National Conference on So- viet Jewry.
