Secretary of State Dean Rusk.
After completing a one-hour
meeting with Rusk, Eban said
that he was pleased by the series
of talks he held in Washington
at top levels of the United States
government, and that "all mat-
ters which concern Israel have
been explained by me."

Eban said that he was "happy
that, despite the preoccupation of
Washington officials with other
matters, they found time for "a
wide-ranging discussion with me in
keeping with the traditional friend-
ship of the two countries." He
said the talks involved a general
exchange and survey of problems
of mutual interest.
Eban also met with Sen. J. W.
Fulbright, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, at
Fulbright's office. He was a lunch-
eon guest of Sen. Stuart Syming-
ton, a member of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. A group of
Senators and Representatives at-
tended the luncheon.
Philadelphia, he received an hon-
orary law doctorate from Temple
University, where he delivered the
commencement address. He also
was guest at a reception from the
Federation of Jewish Agencies.
The foreign minister said at the
reception that three factors affect-
ed Israel's security: the balance of
strength in the Middle East, the
desire of the Great Powers to
maintain the status quo there and
Arab disunity.

He said that Israel would "pas-
sionately welcome" any change
in international ties which would
slow the arms race in the Middle
East but reiterated that Israel
would not lose that race "what-
ever the burden."

Abba Eban, Foreign Minister of
Israel, explained to the board

this year in receiving the flood of
immigrants who continue to pour
into it, providing for viable reset-

come from backward lands for
successful integration into Israel's

society.
