During that period of time the policy of the United States consistently was to work toward peace and to encourage stability in the Middle East by providing a balance of power and by a policy which was based principally upon the need for direct negotiation and dialog between the Israeli Government and the Arab States. Unfortunately. the Arab States. at least to date. have been unwilling to sit down in direct negotiations to consider any compelling problems. We all know that these are complex problems and that they are not susceptible to easy solution. for example. we know there is a great problem of refugees in the Middle East. We know it is a problem of concern to the Israeli Government. and. hopefully. of equal concern to the Arab Government. But I think we recognize that any attempt by the United States. the Soviet Union.
