So now we find that a year and a half ago we had again been given political tranquilizers. Mr. President. when someone says now that perhaps we c ught to take another look. and perhaps we ought to see whether what we are doing is right. we are told. "This is no tirae to be critical." When we suggest that this would be a good time to see if we are doing the right thing in connection with the oil contracts. to see if mcre generous settlements could not be made. or whether we should not look into the use of a UN emergency police force. or the settlement of the refugee situation. we are told. "You are rocking the boat." We are told. "This is no time for arguments." To stifle honest debate is to strangle constructive action. I insist that this is the time for thoughtful and constructive and positive arguments. I believe this is the time for a reexamination of our relationship with other nations in the area of the Middle East.
