Resettlement Bill's
Passage Seems Likely
In the administration, the
controversy continues over
recent statements linking
U.S. aid to boost the reset-
tlement of Soviet refugees in
Israel to the East Jerusalem
question.
But Capitol Hill is a world
apart; in Congress, the only
obstacles to the bill to pro-
vide $400 million in loan
guarantees to help in the
resettlement process are
parliamentary ones.
Currently, the loan guar-
antee package, sponsored by
Sen. Robert Kasten (R-Wis.)
and Sen. Patrick Leahy
(D-Vt.)is attracting numer-
ous amendments by legis-
lators who hope to use the
popular bill as a vehicle for
their own pet appropriations
measures.
The White House has in-
dicated that if the measure
is laden with domestic ap-
propriations, it will be
vetoed.
Pro-Israel strategists ex-
pect to attach the measure to
the bill providing emergency
aid to the new government of
Panama. But the Panama
strategy has its risks, too.
Congress is not happy that
the administration has not
provided genuine "offsets"
for the Panama money; if
Congress channels millions
of dollars to Panama, the
money will have to be taken
from other programs, a pro-
spect that makes many in
Congress and the adminis-
tration gag.
Despite these problems,
the $400 million in loan
guarantees for Israel has
generated remarkably little
opposition.
"I think there is a clear
consensus in Congress that
it's important to help this
'exodus' out of the Soviet
Union," said Mark
Talisman, Washington di-
rector for the Council of Jew-
ish Federations. "I'm really
impressed by how Congress
has been able to keep focus-
ed in this need, without get-
ting tangled up in politics ."
Plus dozens of other tables and chairs, in a
wide variety of styles and finishes.

tors expressed appreciation
for how far the Soviet
government has come in
opening up its emigration
policies for Jews and other
minorities. At the same
time, the legislators attemp-
ted to use what one source
called "very low-key
pressure".
