In the peace negotiations that are at long last about to begin between Israel and the Arabs. we will continue to support Israels existence and her right to live in security. The relationship between the United States and Israel has always been a unique one. and as I worked on these remarks I tried to come to some conclusions about why this should be so. I think Ive come up with at least a partial answer. an answer involving the Bible. a poet. a statute. and the work the UJA is doing to assist Russian emigrants. The plight of Soviet Jewry. incidentally. is one that has long concerned me. and Im sure some of you here tonight remember that I addressed this subject at a rally for Soviet Jewry in Madison Square Garden in 1971. The passage in the Bible to which I referred comes from Isaiah.
