We should propose the establishment of a United Nations Good Offices Commission. whose purpose would be to reduce tensions In the Middle East by promoting direct negotiations between the current antagonists and mediating among them if direct negotiations prove to be impossible. The Commission should be specifically charged with unremitting exploration of the possibility of negotiations on the central problems of determination of boundaries. resettlement of Arab refugees from Israel and of Jewish refugees from Egypt and Syria. and the conclusions of treaties of peace. We should help break the stalemates of inertia and blockade by promoting dynamic projects to help raise living standards. strengthen economies. and encourage orderly social progress in the Middle East.
