Mr. Speaker. many Members of Congress have been greatly distressed about the continuing plight of refugees in the Middle East. Recently. a plan to assist these refugees was called to my attention through an article in War/ Peace Report published by the Center for War/Peace Studies of the New York Friends Group. Inc. It was contained in the November 1971 issue and was written by Mr. Roy L. Prosterman. distinguished professor of law and chairman of the graduate school committee on conflict studies at the University of Washington in Seattle. and Mr. Charles A. Taylor. his graduate research assistant. The essence of the plan is to make both the East Bank and the West Bank of the Jordan River fertile through the new technique of trickle irrigation using numerous shallow wells and saline water heretofore useless for agricultural purposes.
