I am glad the Senator from Illinois has said something about the Jordan Valley development. I have talked with Gordon Clapp. who. at the time he was Chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority. conducted a survey and made one of the early studies of the possibilities in that region. and later I talked with Eric Johnston. With the Sea of Galilee as the principal lake. a great deal of electricity cduld be generated and a substantial number of acres of land could be put under cultivation. The benefits would be tremendous both to Jordan and to Israel. and. generally. to that part of the world. I have been advised that between 30 and 35 percent of the unfortunate refugees could be placed so that they could make aliving as a result of this project.
