Mr. President. President Johnson has proposed to the nations of the Middle East. and the nations of the world. a plan for peace based on cooperation. on a resolution of standing refugee problems. on respect for national existence. and innocent maritime passage. It was a proposal typical of the United States. reflecting the policies or the Johnson administration. aimed at peace. coupled with national and political integrity of all states throughout the world. Indeed. what the United States is proposing for the Middle East is. in a very similar regard. what it has proposed for Vietnam and Southwest Asia. and other areas where freedom has been threatened. President Johnson has proposed a political settlement for the Middle East. But he knows full well that such a political settlement must be based on regional economic and social cooperation. And he said. pointedly: In a climate of peace we will do our full share to help with a solution for refugees. We will do our share. and more. to see that the peaceful promise of nuclear energy is applied to the critical problem of desalting water. I am proud that the President has taken the high road to peace in the Middle East. in contrast to the efforts of some others at stirring up trouble.
