WASHINGTON (JTA) — Three
leading contenders for the Republi-
can nomination for the presidency
put their views on Israel and the
Middle East on record and called
for supply of American arms to
Israel to redress the balance of
power upset by the Soviet rearming
of the Arab states.
Former Vice President Richard
M. Nixon and Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York stated
their positions in letters to Rep.
Seymour Halpern, New York Re-
publican and a leading advocate of
military aid to Israel. The views of
Gov. Ronald Reagan of California
were brought to the attention of
the Senate by Sen. George Murphy,
California Republican.
Nixon voiced concern over "the
(Johnson) administration's inex-
plicable policy toward Israel." He
said that "the first urgency is for
America not to allow the balance
of power to shift in favor of the
militant Arab states bent on a new
war. To this end, the United States
must see to it that Israel's military
strength is never at a level vis-a-vis
the Arab militants that will invite
a war of revenge, the consequences
of which we could not possibly fore-
see and which at all costs we must
avoid." He said that "the United
States must deal directly with the
Soviets and impress upon them
both the urgency of keeping their
clients in check and the dangers
inherent to the peace in any re-
newal of the kind of wholesale
Soviet irresponsibility evident just
prior to the recent conflict."
Nixon said the United States
should take the lead in forging
an acceptable settlement. Such
a settlement, he said, must in-
clude "solid guarantees that the
currently occupied territories
will never again be used as bases
of aggression or sanctuaries for
terrorism. Access for ships of all
nations through the re-opened
Suez Canal and the Straits of
Than should be guaranteed. It
Northland
should include recognition of Is-
rael's sovereignty, its right to
exist in peace, and an end to the
State of belligerency.
"With regard to the occupied ter-
ritories," he added, "it is not
realistic to expect Israel to sur-
render these vitals bargaining coun-
ters in the absence of a genuine
peace and effective guarantee.
However, it is also my view that for
Israel to take formal and final
possession of these occupied areas
would be a grave mistake."
Gov. Rockefeller told Rep. Hal-
pern that a brief statement of his
position on arms shipments to the
Mideast was that "I prefer that no
arms be sold to anybody, by either
side" but "I favor that the United
States do what it can to maintain a
military balance between Israel
and the Arab states."
Gov. Reagan was quoted by Sen.
Murphy as declaring that "only
that one tiny nation" has stood
"manning the ramparts' against the
Communist drive to dominate the
Middle East," referring to Israel's
role in the Six-Day War and sub-
sequently. He asserted that "those
who were then in full retreat -have
been re-armed" by Russia. He as-
serted that the Israelis "deserve
better from us. They must be pro-
vided the weapons to match the
Soviet arms now aimed at their
nation's heart." The Californian
advocated for Israelis "a guarantee
of their borders, as well as the
sovereignty of their nation." He
stressed that "Israel met its chal-
lenge. It is time for us to meet
ours." He aid that Americans ac-
knowledged "with great gratitude"
Israel's "heroic fight" last June.
