 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) President Bush, Administration officials, and the President's emissary should be commended for their diplomatic initiatives to secure the release of Ethiopian Jews; (2) the Government of Israel should be commended for carrying out Operation Solomon, for its efforts to reunite Jews with their families, and for welcoming this community with open arms; (3) individuals and private voluntary organizations should be applauded for their support of the Jewish community in Ethiopia; and (4) the United States should make every effort to bring an end to the civil war in Ethiopia, increase support for famine relief, and ensure the release to Israel of Jews remaining in Ethiopia.
