I was glad to see the American Congress recognize last summer that this Israeli policy deserved American support and I was happy to support the appropriation of $50.000.000 for this purpose. In addition. I will vigorously support the passage of an appropriation of $76.000.000 for the Israel refugee program when the House of Representatives considers the mutual security bill next week. In addition to economic help so that Israel can become selfsufficient. I look upon the development of a free and democratic State of Israel in an area free from threats of aggression. as a goal to which all Americans must commit themselves and the responsibility of the United Nations to fulfill.
