Since the Roosevelt amendment
did not specifically Flame Egypt nor
make any action mandatory involv-
ing actual severance of aid, the
Administration found it an accept-
able substitute.
A strong defense of the State
Department position was voiced by
a Jewish Congressman from New

New Yqrk.

four votes. Irony was added by
the fact that four Jewish Con-
gressmen voted for continued aid
to Nasser, in effect, by voting
against the mandatory Bolton
