Muskie Certain U. S. Remains Israel's Friend
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Sen. Ed-
cause America is committed to
mund Muskie of Maine said Wed-
nesday that there is no need for
a formal defense pact between
the United States and Israel "be-
Israel's survival, it has always
been and I expect it will always
be that way." The 1968 Demo-
cratic vice presidential candidate
arrived here Wednesday morning
for a four-day visit, his first to
Israel, during which he will meet
with Premier Golda Meir, Deputy
Premier Yigal Allon and Defense
&Minister Moshe Dayan.
Muskie, frequently mentioned
as a possible presidential nominee
in 1972, said that according to
law, contracts can be oral as well
as written. "We have commit-
ments to Israel in terms of eco-
nomic and military assistance,"
he said.
Muskie will go to Cairo and
then to Moscow after he leaves

Israel. He told newsmen at Lydda
Airport that he did not intend to
carry any message from Premier
Meir to President Anwar Sadat of
Egypt. "I won't put Mrs. Meir in
a difficult position," he said. "I
am here to meet Mrs. Meir and
other leaders, to try to under-
stand their points of view and
their hopes and I am not going
to volunteer as messenger for
anyone at this point," he said.
