Pa.. to meet with General Eisenhower and Admiral Strauss to discuss their plan in further detail. I would like now to outline briefly some of the pertinent parts of this plan. The plan is based on the finding that. if sufficient quantities of fresh water can be furnished to the arid lands of the Middle East. the chronic shortages of an adequate food supply and meaningful work for residents and refugees alike can be alleviated. Admiral Strauss vast experience. as a former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. has led him to conclude that three very large nuclear desalting plants are both technically feasible and economically attractive as the means to provide the tremendous quantities of fresh water which the plan envisions. Two of the installations would be located at appropriate points on the Mediterranean coast of Israel and a smaller one at the northern end of the Gulf of Aqaba in either Jordan or Israel. as the most suitable terrain may dictate.
