Let me say further that I believe the action of the Congress in recommending the sale of Phantom jets to Israel carried great weight with President Johnson in coming to his conclusion. The Israeli proposals. as submitted to the United Nations. are both comprehensive and generous. They do not ignore the grievance of the Arabs any more than they are unmindful of the security needs of Israel. Mr. Eban presented the outline for resolution of the problem of Jerusalem. as well as the festering dilemma of the Arab refugees of the successful Middle Eastern wars. Certainly there is much within these proposals that the Arab States can embrace. They were submitted in a spirit of conciliation. with a willingness to take into account conflicting points of view.
