CASH FOR ISRAEL BONDS and SECURITIES State Telephone 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 Jersey, Rep. Joelson. Another Jew- ish voice raised against the Bolton move was that of Rep. Multer of New Yqrk. When the bitter fight was over, the issue was decided by a mere 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 Stand. • ' "qr. - ••••• ■ •••"- City He pointed out that Nasser • would be forced . by the Bolton ban to prove his eligibility and worthiness as a beneficiary of the U.S. aid program financed by our taxpayers.
