President. stability and order in the Middle East can be achieved only in the context of a clear and consistent U.S. Middle Eastern policy. The case for our commitment in the Middle East is one that we can trace clearly back to 1945 when President Truman first asked the British to admit Jewish refugees into Palestine. In 1947 we supported the United Nations General Assembly in the partition of Palestine which led to the establishment of Israel. We did not stop with that general endorsement and support of the United Nations position. but in 1950 agreed to the Tripartite Declaration by which we took responsibiilty in a very special way. promising our continuing support to the State of Israel.
