Here are the facts about

United States AID to ISRAEL

Under the Republican

Administration

The Republican 7-year record (beginning with 1952, and
through the fiscal year 1959) has shown America's deep desire
for the continuance of Israel's national interests. America, con-
fident in Israel's ability to eventually become self-supporting,
has given large stale technical assistance; it has provided a
generous reconstruction and development fund for under-
privileged territory, such as large areas of the Negev; it 'has
assured Israel of the continuing flexibility of United States
economic policy to take into account the growing needs of a
country badly equipped to provide housing, medical aid, food
and the other necessities of life — a country with doors open
to the deposed, often indigent, people of other nations who
seek entry.

In 1952, the first year of the present administration, America made
available to Israel a total of .$86 million; of this amount, $63 million was
assigned through .a special assistance fund, after a study commission de-
termined the type of aid most needed at that time. ;

In 1953, a total of $73,640,000—under same circumstances.

In 1954, Israel was given $1,500,000 for techhical cooperation; $52,-
400,000 for special assistance; $20,670,000 was provided under PL 480-
Title III; which supplied surplus agricultural -commodities and assistance
through United States voluntary. agencies. The total, $74,670,000.

In 1955 U.S. aid totaled $54,000,000. Broken down, this . represented
$1,400,000 for technical assistance; $40,000,000 for development or special
assistance; $20,670,000 under PL 480-Title _III.

In 1956, $1,400,00D was provided for technical assistance; $25,000,000
in the development fund—of which $20,000,000 constituted a loan and
included a grant of $198,750 in equivalent in French francs; $13,100,000
under PL 480-Title I—which included surplus agricultural commodities.
Total, $54,880,000.

In 1957, Israel received $1,800,000 in technical cooperation. $25,-
000,000—of which $10,000,000 represented a loanwas given under the
special assistance fund; $10,700,000, provided under PL 480-Title I and
$2,290,000 under PL 480-Title III.

In 1958, the United States provided Israel with a total of $91 ;450,000.
This represented $1,500,000 for technical assistance; $7,500,000 under the
special or development fund; $41,000,000 under PL 480-Title-I; $2,250,000
under PL 480-Title III; $24,200,000 in export-import, and an additional
$15,000,000 in loans._

In 1959, during the fiscal year, Israel was given a total of $58,000,-
000. Of this, $1,600,000 was for technical aid; $7,500,000 for special as-
sistance; $38,300,000 in surplus agricultural commodities; $2,225,000 under
PL 480-Title III; $3,350,000 in export-import, and $5,000,000 in loans.

This total, $669,680,000 far exceeded any program in effect
with Israel's neighbors. It does, in fact, refute any claim that
the present administration has discriminated against Israel in
any way.

Upon the formation of the new State of Israel, during
President Truman's administration, provision for grants and
credits totaling $233,000,00G were made for Israel.

Since Israel was established in 1948, when President Tru-
man was in office, it is apparent that the bulk of United States
assistance to Israel has come while the Republicans held office.
Through adherence to this policy, in face of some strong opposi-
tion from the Arab States --- and from many national sources —
this country has continued to maintain a semblance of peace in
the Middle East without sacrifice to Israel's security.
