President George H.W. Bush spoke to Jewish leaders at the 1992 International Conference of B’nai B’rith in Washington, DC. In his remarks, President Bush announced he would ask Congress to allow $10 billion in loan guarantees to Israel to house Jewish immigrants to the region. He said Israel’s survival would have been threatened if Democratic presidential candidate Gov. Bill Clinton had been leading during the Persian Gulf War, and said claims that he held anti-Semitic views because he differed with the Israeli government politically were painful to him personally. He responded to written questions from the audience following his prepared remarks. The president was presented with a gift from the organization following the question and answer session. close
