We also have a clear responsibility to work through the United Nations to provide for agreement on a lasting longrun settlement of the issues in the Middle East. This means seeking solutions to the basic and deeprooted conflicts which have divided the Middle East since Israels birth as a nation in 1948. The ingredients of settlement include: realistic recognition of the right of Israels existence as a nation. permanent agreement on specific borders. and the settlement of the Palestinian Arab refugees. None of these aims can be accomplished unless it is within a framework of definite international guarantees. The United States must clarify its commitment to peace. and to the territorial integrity of all Middle East states. and seek an international guarantee similar to the 1950 Tripartite Declaration.
