Peace In the Middle East requires no less of us. and the cause is worth our effort. Mr. Speaker. in my report to the Congress in 1963. 1 stated: Although I do not regard the solution of the Arab refugee problem as the key issue between Israel and the Arab states. I am convinced that the refugee problem is one of the problems that must be solved if there is to be peace and stability in the Near East. Today. however. I am of the opinion that unless and until the Arab refugee problem is solved. there can beno peace. It is tragic. Mr. Speaker. that 4 years have passed since I made that report on the Near East and we have gone through another destructive war. but we are still left with the same dilemmas. The refugee problem is. as I said then. only one of the many differences that exist between Israel and the Arab States. But we Americans learned to our dismay when we went to the brink of war last June that the problems of the Midde East are the worlds problems. A new war may be a world war.
