Congressmen Voice Israel Support
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Rep.
Thomas O'Neil (D-Mass.),
head of a 24-member Con-
gressional fact-finding mis-
sion in the Middle East, said
Sunday that Israel should
continue to receive Ameri-
can aid and that he would
vote for it, though he
wouldn't say in what
amounts and no figures
have yet been presented to
Congress.
The American law-mak-
ers met with Premier Yit-
zhak Rabin Friday morning
and with Defense Minister
Shimon Peres.
In New York Sunday, Sec-
retary of Defense James
Schlesinger said that "the
security of the State of Is-
rael remains an American
objective."
Interviewed on CBS-TV
"Face the Nation," he also
stated that the U.S. will not
enter into any new commit-
ments on the shipment of
arms to the Middle East
until the reassessment or-
dered last month , by Presi-
dent Ford is completed.
The reassessment, which
began two weeks ago will
continue for another four
weeks, Schlesinger re-
marked.
The Defense Secretary
noted that up to April 1, the
"termination point" of U.S.
arms shipments to Israel,
there was a very substantial
shipment of arms.
He stressed that the reas-
sessment by the U.S. of the
Mideast applied to all the
countries there, not just to
Israel. He said the U.S.
would reconsider "just
where we are going" with
regard to all Mideast states
and all issues in the area.
Sen. Alan Cranston (D-
Calif.) said that he sees "no
signs of any wavering in
Checkmate:
support for Israel in the
U.S. Congress." Cranston
said that he could find "no
evidence in Washington to
back up reports of Congres-
sional reservations about
Israel aid because of the
failure of the Kissinger
peace negotiations."
Charging that "these er-
roneous reports were appar-
ently White House in-
spired," Cranston also
criticized the "threatening
tone" implied in leaks about
a reassessment of U.S. pol-
icy in the Middle East, Pres-

TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
traditional Song of the Sea
service on the eve of the last
day of Passover, usually
held on the beaches and
along the rivers and lakes,
was observed last Tuesday
—a day earlier—in syn-
agogues, partly because of
security reasons.
The ceremonies attracted
tourists who took pictures
of observant Jews praying
and thus interfered with the
prayers. Because of this it
was suggested that the Song
of the Sea be recited inside
synagogues.
However, it was learned
that the mass concentration
of people along the seashore
and the .rivers was causing
anxiety among security
prople who suggested call-
ing off the open air service.
ident Ford's reported irrita-
tion with Israel. and hints
that Secretary of State
Henry A. Kissinger pri-
vately puts most of the
blame on Israel for the
breakdown of talks.
Cranston warned that the
"orchestrated campaign of
White House innuendo
against Israel could
heighten the danger of war
by deluding some Arab
leaders into believing that
U.S. support for Israel is
weakening."
"U.S. backing of Israel
has been the single outsidt
deterrent to fanatical Arab
ambitions to drive Israel
into the sea," he said.
Cranston said Congress
"will be scrutinizing Admin-
istration aid requests for
Israel and other Middle
East countries to make sure
that Israel is not getting
short-changed."
The senator also attacked
"White HouSe efforts to link
the situation in the Middle
East with that in Southeast
Asia." The White House
cannot intimidate Congress
into pouring more millions
into Cambodia and South
Vietnam by drawing false
parallels with Israel, he
said.
In New York, Dr. Joseph
P. Sternstein, president of
the Zionist Organization of
America, declred that "the
American peopleunder-
stand that Israel is not
South Vietnam."
He also stated that "Israel
will not permit herself to be
forced to concede its stra-
tegic safety without clear,
open and public understand-
ings with Arab countries,
buttressed by internation-
ally understood acts of palp-
able significance."
Focusing on President
Ford's reassessment of the
Middle East, Dr. Sternstein
said this should "include a
firm and immediate reaffir-
mation of American su p port
for its old friend and ally,
Israel."
Lance Missile
Cargo Halted
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
A Pentagon source indi-
cated that the U.S. govern-
ment is refraining from
keeping its commitment to
ship Lance surface-to-sur-
face missiles systems to Is-
rael in view of President
Ford's call for reassessment
of U.S. policy in the Middle
East.
The delay was seen i
some quarters as deliberate
U.S. policy of official cold-
ness toward Israel for refus-
ing to accept Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger's
suggestions for reaching a
peace agreement with
Egypt.
The State Department
refused to discuss the delay
or reports that the U.S. had
informed the Israeli govern-
ment that visits by Foreign
Minister Yigal Allon and
Defense Minister Shimon
Peres would be premature.
The Pentagon, however,
confirmed that it asked the
Israeli government to delay
Peres' visit while the reas-
sessment was under way.
