clare that Israel's relationship
with the United States has
been steered through "a heavy
tempest of crisis" into "a
more • trustful atmosphere."
They also heard Sen. Lyndon

Leader, declare that Israel
stands today as a "permanent
and enduring sanctuary in the
midst of what was once a
desert."
"The statements which we re-
cently exchanged in Washing-
ton commit both our govern-
ments to resistance to aggres-
sion and to vigilant respect for
territorial integrity and politi-
ea independence of Israel, as
of other Middle Eastern States,"
Ambassador Eban told the UJA
