U.S. Aid Program Approved:
Israel Aid at 1973-74 Level
WASHINGTON ,(JTA )—The
Senate adopted the House
version of the U.S. foreign
aid program and sent the
measure to 'President Ford
for signing into law last week.
Under the resolution, U.S.
governmental spending on
foreign aid is held to the
levels of the 1973-74 program.
Israel will receive an eco-
nomic assistance grant of
$50,000,000 and military sales
credit of $300,000,000.
The amendment by Sen.
Walter Mondale (D. Minn.) to
the continuing resolution,
which would have given Is-
rael $250,000,000 in economic
grants and $100,000,000 in
military credits was killed in
the Senate-House conference
discussions of the aid bill.
Administration lobbyists suc-
ceeded in convincing the con-
ferees that if Israel received
more money, Egypt, Syria
and Jordan should also get
additional funds.
The 1975 foreign aid pro-
gram is still pending in the
House Foreign Affairs Com-
mittee. B'esides authorization
by both houses, the program
will require appropriations
approval.
That program provides
$250,000,000 in grant econom-
ic aid to Egypt, and ear-
marks conditionally $100,000,-
000 for Syria. It also has

Mondale in his amendment
to the continuing resolution

cessful documentary films of
all time in France.
Louis 1VIalle's fictional film
of the occupation in a provin-
cial town, "Lacombe Lucien,"
appeared this year, also pack-
ing movie houses. It, unlike-
"The Sorrow and the Pity,"
was attacked by political ex-
tremes of the left and right,
and, in more recent inter-
views, by French Jews.
