Our mutual security program for the 1960 fiscal year omits to include Israel as one of the countries who are scheduled to receive grantsinaid. This proposed action is a grievous error of judgment. The aid which we can give to Israel can be utilized to take care of the large number of immigrants from Eastern Europe who are marching to this little country to seek refuge and haven from persecution. The door is open. and we can aid Israel in this great work by revising our mutual security program to include this great little nation to carry on the humanitarian work it is doing and to maintain in an island of insecurity an oasis of democracy. I trust that our responsible public officials will reconsider their stand in the matter of mutual aid and will continue to render economic aid to Israel as in previous years.
