We would be hard put to find any other appropriation bill that has been so sharply cut. relatively. below the administration budget. At the same time the bill has been able to provide the aid that Israel needs to remain strong andsecure. The bill includes $665 million for Israel through security supporting assistance. foreign military credit sales. and assistance for Soviet refugees. For those who might think this is too much money for Israel. let me remind them that Israels adversaries have been getting much more foreign aid from many donors. including the United States. I estimated in the course of recent hearings on foreign aid that the amount for Israel in this bill is approximately onethird of what the three confrontation Arab countries.
