Senate Committee Votes to Up Aid to Israel, Arab Countries
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Senate Appropriations
Committee gave a green
light to a $5.3 billion foreign
military and economic aid
program for the current fis-
cal year which includes a 25
percent increment to cover
the transitional quarter
July 1-Oct. 1 between the
end of fiscal 1976 and the
beginning of fiscal 1977.
The funding for the tran-
sitional quarter would pro-
vide Israel with an addi-
tional $550 million, making

up for the $500 million the
Ford Administration had
earlier chopped from its aid
recommendations for Israel.
In adopting the foreign
aid measure by voice vote
with no opposition, the com-
mittee, 'headed by Sen. John
McClellan (D-Ark.), en-
dorsed earlier action by its
subcommittee on foreign
appropriations headed by
Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Ha-
waii). Although the House
omitted ,funding for the
transitional quarter from
an otherWise identical bill it
adopted two weeks ago, it is
expected to accept the addi-
tional appropriation when
the final foreign aid package
is hammered out by a Sen-
ate-House conference com-
mittee.
Apart from the transi-
tional quarter funding, the
foreign aid package,ear-
marks $1.5 million in mili-
tary credits for Israel with
the stipulation that up. to
half of that amount may be
forgiven by the President.
In security assistance, Is-
rael is allocated $700 mil-
lion, Egypt $695 million,
Syria $80 million, Jordan
$72.5 million. The latter
country will also receive
about $150 million in mili-
tary grants and credits. The
transitional quarter allow-
ance, if finally adopted into
law, would provide Israel
with an extra $550 million
for the three-month period
and Egypt with an addi-
tional $146 million.
Sen. Edward Brooke (R-
Mass.) was instrumental in
assuring that the bill in-
cludes the $15 million ap-
proved by the House to as-
sist Israel in resettling
immigrants from the Soviet
Union.

Editor, The Jewish News:
With Arab independen-
cies occupying vast territo-
ries, fertile lands, sparsely
inhabited, with Israel hav-
ing repatriated 800,000" of
our brethren from the Ar-
abs, abandoning their
wealth estimated in billions,
with Israel willing to give
full citizenship status to the
Arabs in all the regions un-
der her control, and full
freedom in any event, it
would not be a cosmic cal-
amity, as Abba Eban stated,
if that little mite of land at
the Mediterranean shore
will remain irrevocably Jew-
ish now as of yore, and if the
Arabs would make room for
their brethern now in the
camps, in the vast domains
under Arab control
As Cyrus L. Sulzberger of
the New York Times wrote,
June 30, 1967, "That which
should be established in the
Middle East is not a status
quo ante bellum . . . but a
status quo post bellum on
. . . prevailing political
realities."
The coteries, fancying
self under the initials CON-
AME . . . by a re-grouping
of the letters could be more
appropriately read CON
MEN.

Nothing beats leather for making you
the center of attention. That's why we
carry so much of it. The Robert Lewis
jacket pictured here is just one of our
new spring ideas. It's made from a truly
unique leather: glove soft, glazed, baby
lambskin. Both chest and hip pockets
have double triangle trim and stitching.
It's one heck of a jacket, and perfect to
wear at the Center . . . of everything.
