Indeed, Jewish groups working on behalf of refu- gees from the former Soviet Union and other countries say that as the federal budget tightens and the so- cial climate becomes in- creasingly hostile to for- eigners, the future of the programs hangs in the bal- ance. They say the fiscal pressures could shift the burden of resettling Jewish refugees to already-strapped local Jewish federations and, in the worst case, could result in a reduction in the number of refugees admitted to the United States. That, they say, would violate the program's guiding principle that reset- tlement should be based on humanitarian and not fi- nancial considerations. Funding cuts could also trigger a major restructur- ing of the refugee reset- tlement program by elim- inating the role of the states in providing Medicaid and federal cash assistance, which would be funneled directly to voluntary agen- cies. The Council of Jewish Federations supports this plan, arguing that it would stretch fewer dollars further. Both the Senate and House of Representatives have passed labor/health and human services appropria- tions bills for fiscal 1993 with money in them for refugee resettlement that is below the current funding level of $410 million. That money resettled 131,000 refugees this fiscal year, of which 61,000 were from the former Soviet Union. Of these, roughly 52,000 were Jews. In the coming year, 122,000 refu- gees are tentatively slated to be admitted, of whom 40,000 are expected to be Jews. A House and Senate con- ference committee is ex- pected to begin crafting a compromise next week bet- ween the House bill, which calls for a $322 million ap- propriation, and the $405 million called for in the Senate's. While either appropriation level would force some cut- backs in resettlement pro- grams, they are a big and welcome leap from the Bush administration budget sub_ mitted earlier this year, which refugee advocates fought fiercely. The administration ha,i appropriated $227 million for resettlement, a 45 pen' cent cut in the current fun-, ding, which is administered through the Department of Health and Human Service's Office of Refugee Reset tlement. "A 45 percent cut is like killing the program," said Mark Talisman, director of the Washington Action Of of the Council of Jewish Federations. "We waited 15 to 20 years for the unfolding of events" in the former Soviet Union, he said. "And at the very moment we need the part- nership" with the federal government, "to close it up is obscene." Martin Wenick, executive vice president of HIAS, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid The Senate voted $405 million, the House $322 million. The Bush administration wanted a 45 percent cut. Society, agreed such a cut would have a dramatic im- - pact. "The services hitherto available (to provide) oppor- - tunities for people to estab- lish themselves as self- c: supporting members of society won't be there," he- - said. And in the long run, "that leaves them more dependent on the system." Mark Handelman, ex- ecutive vice president of New York Association for New Americans, or NYANA, the largest Jewish resettlement agency in the country, said in this scenario, Jewish federations would be forced to cut back sharply on their services. He said they also might. have to "dig into their own pockets" to compensate for the probable elimination of Medicaid that would result. — Indeed, with any of the projected cuts, "somebody has to make up for them, and in our case, it is usually the federations and the Jewish philanthropic pot," he said. Both Mr. Wenick and Mr. Talisman say they recognize
