Thus economic assistance to Israel is a direct contribution to the general defense of the West against the expansion of Soviet power at the crossroads of three continents. Mr. President. the restoration of the $50.000.000 earmarked for Arab and Jewish refugees. respectively. Is most urgently indicated. Throughout American history. we have never failed to respond and give assistance in such great human emergencies. involving the fate of important segments of mankind. Here. we have the added reason that assistance in liquidating these acute refugee problems will relieve the tensions throughout the Near East. and thus help us achieve the goal of friendship and security which underlies our entire foreign p6licy and underlies this entire bill. Mr. President.
