Speech #850265748

Mr. President. in this brief talk I propose to make suggestions as to two complicated and troublesome subjects. namely. the contributions of American citizens to the United Jewish Appeal and the satisfaction of the Arab refugees so far as their claims appear to be just. On July 18 I submitted Senate Concurrent Resolution 106. A third "Resolved" in that resolution reads as follows: Resolved. That the Treasury investigate the uses to which taxfree contributions of American citizens are put when sent to Israel. to see whether they tend to exacerbate Middle Eastern turmoil rather than relieve unavoidable distress. to the end that the taxfree status may be justified or withdrawn.
