"(to ensure) « that they are physically healthy in the full sense of the word… Weak people who are ill with nervous diseases, tuberculosis and others are coming to us, and I don’t have to explain to you the disaster such wretched people will bring down on the Yishuv,.. Both male and female pioneers should be examined seven times before you give them an exit permit…. (The immigrants) should also be mentally healthy – that is, they should know the purpose for which they are traveling here. The fearful and the faint-hearted should stay home…. Even 1 percent that’s bad will spoil a great many good people ».
