I note that Israel is likely to accept. I hope the United Arab Republic will. tooif it really is not fomenting the breaches of the ceasefire as propaganda for its internal consumption. During these months of strainI say months of strain. in the sense of the coming monthsthere is also a great opportunity to do something about the Arab refugeesthe number variously estimated at 700.000 to 800.000who are now physically in territory occupied by Israels forces. The humanitarian aspect of this issue has always been the overriding consideration. therefore. every effort should be made with assistance both public and private physically to settle the Arab refugees in these areas. whatever may be the ultimate political disposition of the area. Indeed. I am devoting myself at this time to an effort in this regard upon which I shall. in due course. report to the Senate.
