Yet. despite the incredible progress Israel has made in its short lifetime. it still faces enormous and continuing problems. With defense requirements absorbing 30 percent of its national budget and debt service another 20 percent. available funding for domestic needs is clearly inadequate. The growing influx of Jewish emigrants from the Soviet Union creates the need for even more human services. These are great challenges for a young nation. and I wish Israel the very best as it acts to secure its future and create a nation where all its people are afforded the maximum chance for personal development and fulfillment. With such a deep bond of common ideals and human values. the United States and Israel will always find their respective fates intertwined.
