Second. freedom of passage for all nations. including Israel. in the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Aqaba. Third. final settlement and acknowledgment of Israels boundaries by the Arab States. Fourth. effective restrictions on the flow of arms into the Middle East. Fifth. resolution of the refugee problem in the Middle East. I urge the President to oppose preconditions to negotiations requiring Israeli withdrawal from territory held to avoid repeating the mistakes of 1956 which led to a resumption of hostilities 11 years later. By United Nations declaration Israel legally deserves the status and rights of a sovereign nation and the territorial integrity which such status entails.
