Jerusalem. as well as our position that the Suez Canal and the Straits of Tiran are international waterways which must remain open to the shipping of all nations. Largescale assistance must also be provided to the Palestinian Arab refugees. along with U.S. cooperation in any international programs designed to facilitate their resettlement in Arab lands. The Arab States must begin to welcome Arab refugees in the same way that Israel resettled hundreds of thousands of Jews from the Arab countries. We must urge the Soviet Union to permit the emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union and express the hope that the Soviet Union will grant exit permits to those who seek to go in Israel and that they will cease the harassment and intimidation to those who have applied for visas. Israel should receive our assistance to cover a portion of the costs of absorbing these new emigrants. When placing GEORGE McGOVERNS name in nomination.
