However unfortunate that situation may be. we believe it requires a look at all the elements involved in the dispute. The statement points out that Israel is continually subject to attacks from hostile groups in Arab nations. It declares that a realistic approach to the conflict between Israel and her Arab neighbors requires implementation of an equitable policy of permanent peace along the lines of the U.N. resolution of last November 22. efforts to maintain a strategic arms balance. settlement of the refugee question. and establishment of an organization for economic cooperation and development. It was a privilege to be able to work with Senator JAVITS on this statement. and both of us are grateful to the 14 other Senators who joined in signing the statement. We hope it will contribute to the continuing Senatorial discussion of the difficult and dangerous problems which characterize the troubled Middle East.
