WASHINGTON (JTA)—The
U.S. budget for fiscal year the $50,000,000 for economic

ning July 1.
The $2,500,000,000, Bureau
of the Budget officials told
the Jewish Telegraphic Agen-
cy Monday, represents the
$2,200,000,000 in emergency
security assistance voted by
the Congress in December in
the aftermath of the Yom
Kippur War and the $300,-
000,000 in additional credits

pment appropriated last

Of that combined amount,
the budget shows $673,664,000
is obligated for expenditure
in the current fiscal year
ending June 30 and $70,800,-
000 in fiscal 1975.
In addition, $17,336,000 of
the $2,200,000,000 is obligated
to meet the U.S. share of
costs of the United Nations
Emergency Force (UNEF)
to patrol the buffer zones on
Israel's borders. Congress
had directed that these costs
be taken from the emergen-
cy fund. None of the $300,-
000,000 in credits has yet
been obligated, the budget
officials told JTA.
The president and the State
Department, the budget of-
ficial said, probably will
make their decisions during
this month on how much of
the $2,200,000,000 will be giv-
en to Israel as a grant and
what part, if any, as a loan.
Congress has authorized the
President to give grants of
up to $1,500,000,000 of the
emergency funds.
In addition, the State De-
partment is due to provide
Congress with its new foreign
aid requests soon that will
show what amounts it wishes
budgeted for Israel, and oth-
ers, in the fiscal year 1975.
In the past two years, Con-
gress has voted $300,000,000
each year for military cre-
dits and $500,000,000 in 1971
after the missile crisis along
the Suez.
"Grants of credits in ex-
cess of the $1,500,000,000,"
the budget report said, "may
be used only if the President
determines it to be impor-
tant to our national interest
that Israel receive such
amounts and reports the de-
termination, the justification
for the determination, and
the terms of that additional
assistance to the Congress as
least 20 days prior to the ob-
ligation of the funds."
Budget officials , said the
amounts of aid sp6ctacularly
airlifted and otherwise ship-
ped to Israel during the Yom
Kippur War and into last
ember totaled about $1,-
„_,,%000,000, including trans-
portation costs. These were
on a "cash basis' of 90 days
or 120 days. "These bills will
be coming due this month,"
they said. The president,
therefore, will have to make
determinations of policy to-
ward them.

credits in the usual foreign
aid budget.
No requests are contained
in the estimates for Israel in
fiscal 1975, the budget report
said, "Because of uncertain-
ties in the Middle East."
