I think a serious cut in the amount to international organizations and programs would not be the best point of departure for the Presidents first major U.N. address. I would like today to speak briefly with regard to two amounts that could be affected by this cut. The first is the United Nations Emergency Force-$1.18 million. the second is the United Nations Relief Works Agency for Palestine refugees in the amount of $17.2 million. United Nations Emergency Force. in my judgment. is important to keeping peace in the Near East. This 5.300 member multinational U.N. force is essential to keeping down incidents on the IsraelUnited Arab Republic border. and a substantial cut in United Nations Emergency Force funds could be adverse with reference to peace and trigger hostilities on a sensitive border.
