Secretary of Defense James
Schlesinger has chided mem-
bers of Congress who have
reduced aid to $700,000,000
for the current fiscal year to
South Vietnam in the current
congresional foreign military
assistance legislation although
they had approved $2.2 bil-
lion for Israel after the Yom
Kippur War.
In a speech before the Na-
tional Security Industrial As-
ociation here Sept. 24,
hlesinger did not criticize
the funds for Israel but ob-
served that the assistance to
Israel amounted to about
$700,000,000 a week for the
three weeks of fighting last
October.
"When the -conflict broke
out in the Middle East last
October," Schlesinger said,

all of whom have - sympa-

urged us to do whatever was
necessary to insure the sur-
