Secre- tary of State Frederick T. Dut- ton in a letter to Rep. Leonard Farbstein of New York. The congressman had in- quired about reports that the Lebanese authorities have blacklisted four American firms because of their business ties with Israel. "The U.S. government's op- position and our noncondona- tion of it has been made known to the Lebanese government as well as to other Arab govern- ments on a number of occa- sions in the past. "Our position on this issue is unmistakably clear. Should the blacklist reports be sub- stantiated and the firms to which you refer approach the department for assistance, the department will, of course, be prepared to protest the boycot- ting on the grounds of princi- ple to the Lebanese govern- ment."
