That came as part of a.$1.9 billion
agriculture research bill, which went
to President Clinton for his signature
this week. Jewish groups fought hard
for the measure, and to keep the fund-
ing from getting siphoned off into
other programs.
"This bill not only supports farmers
but fulfills a commitment the presi-
dent made when he signed the welfare
reform law to restore the unnecessary
and mean-spirited benefit cuts for
legal immigrants," said a White House
spokesman last week, referring to the
1996 Welfare Reform Bill.
The measure will restore food
stamps to about 30 percent of the
recipients who were affected by the
welfare reform bill — primarily the
elderly, the young and the disabled, as
well as refugees fleeing persecution.
Some Republicans complained that
the measure undid the results of their
welfare overhaul, but Jewish activists
disagreed.
"This isn't about giving money to
able-bodied people, and it doesn't
undo the welfare bill," said Reva Price,
Washington representative for the
Jewish Council on Public Affairs. "All
it does is undo a ridiculous part of
that bill that financed welfare 'reform'
on the backs of peoplewho genuinely
need help." 0

Washington (JTA) — The U.S.
Board of Immigration Appeals agreed
to grant asylum to a Ukrainian
Jewish father and son who claimed
they were victimized by anti-
Semitism. The decision upheld an
immigration judge's ruling that the
two did, in fact, have a "well-found-
ed fear of persecution," based on
conditions in Ukraine.
The Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society commended the decision, say-
ing it reconfirms the fact that life for
Jews and other minorities in the for-
mer Soviet Union "remains precari-
ous.
Meanwhile, Russia cleared the way
for one of a small number of remain-
ing Jewish refuseniks to emigrate to
Israel.
Gregory Schtutman worked in con-
nection with the Russian military and
had long been denied permission to
leave on secrecy grounds. The decision
allows Schtutman and his mother to
join his wife and two daughters in
Israel.
