Action memorandum for the Acting Deputy Administrator : authorization of the Government of Israel $10 billion loan guarantee program (271-AG-001)

loans to Israel made as a result of Israel"s extraordinary humanitarian effort to resettle and absorb immigrants into Israel from the republics of the former Soviet Union, Ethiopia, and other countries. During the progam period, it is anticipated that, in the context of economic reforms, Israel"s increased population due to its absorption of immigrants, and the liberalization by the Government of Israel of its trade policy with the United States, the amount of U.S. investment goods and services purchased for use in or with respect to the country of Israel will substantially increase.
