Mr. Chairman. I rise to question the practical wisdom of this proposal to so dractically reduce the moderate appropriation provision in this bill to sensibly assist the development of Israel and help solve the Arab refugee problem. I earnestly hope no tragic mistake will be made here today by any hasty action that could well result in diminishing the growing spirit of the courageous people of Israel and destroy any cooperative desire of the Arab States to work toward the establishment of permanent peace in the Middle East trouble zone. The new state of Israel was founded upon the same fundamental principles of liberty and justice that originated our own national beginning.
