President Ford said that
the "basic purposes" of
his proposals to the Con-
gress are "first to provide
Israel with the assistance
needed to maintain secu-
rity and to persevere in
the negotiation process."
Second, he said, it is to
give "tangible expression
to our new and fruitful re-
lations with the Arab na-
tions most directly in-
volved and to encourage
those which are seriously
prepared to work for
peace."

Third, it is "to encourage
the peaceful development of
the area, thereby reducing
the incentives to violence
and conflict." Ford noted
that fully 70 percent.of the
U.S. aid program for the
current fiscal year is to be
concentrated in the Middle
East.
The Middle East program
had been held up since last
March after the President
ordered a reassessment of
U.S. policy in the Middle
East following the failure of
Secretary of State Henry A.
ssj
to_.bring

about a second agreement
between Israel and Egypt in
the Sinai. A second agree-
ment finally was reached in
September.
Israel last year was al-
lowed $324.5 million in
economic - aid and $300 mil-
lion in military credits.
Egypt was granted $251.2
million. Jordan was pro-
vided with $177.3 million in
military and economic
grants and loans. Syria was
given more than $50 million
in economic aid.
