Foreign Aid Compromise Unlikely

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Reports that President Ford
appeared agreeable to a
compromise on additional
military assistance funding
for Israel to cover the tran-
sitional quarter between fis-
cal years 1976 and 1977,
seemed to have been
quashed this week.
White House sources said
that the President has not
changed his position against
foreign aid funding for Is-
rael for the three month
period, July 1 — Sept. 30,
and the Republican Con-
gressional leadership indi-
cated he-may even veto the
authorization legislation
because he feels it is too re-
strictive on him.
Ford repeated his opposi-
tion to the additional aid on
Wednesday while cam-
paigning in Texas. He said
-there was no need for more
aid during a 25-month pe-
riod in which Israel received
$46 billion.
Ford had previously said
he would veto an appropria-
tions measure that included
funds for Israel and other

countries, among them
Egypt. But Tuesday Rep.
Robert Michel (R-Ill.) told
reporters that the President
had "grave concerns" about
the authorization measure
which sets the policy on for-
eign aid.
Among the provisions of
the authorization legisla-
tion to which Ford objects
are a Congressional veto
on military sales either by
the U.S. government or
American companies that
exceed $25 million, Con-
gressional veto of trans-
fers of American weapons
by a foreign power to a
third country, and the an-
ti-discrimination provi-
sions that would cut off
U.S. aid to any country
that discriminates against
Americans on the basis of
race, religion, sex or na-
tional origin. The latter
provision was understood
to be aimed primarily at
the Arab countries.
According to Michel, the
Republican Congressional
leadership believes the Pres-
ident has good grounds to
veto the authorization- mea-
sure.
When Ford, apparently,
suggested to the Republican
leadership that the exten-
sion of powers to Congress
could be corrected in the
House-Senate conference on
the legislation, the advice of
the leadership was, accord-
ing to Michel, that it would
be better to veto the bill and
allow the whole foreign aid
process to be worked out in
the full committees of both
houses.
White House sources said
that Ford's feelings on the
transitional quarter re-
mains the same and that he
has not changed his position
against the funding. This
appeared to clash with the
impression conveyed by
Sen. Clifford Case (R-NJ)
who had met privately with
the President at the White
House Saturday.

According to Case, the
ranking Republican mem-
ber of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee,
Ford was amendable to a
compromise on transi-
tional quarter funding
under which Israel would
receive $375 million to
meet its defense needs but
all other countries would
receive no extra assist-
ance.
The $375 million would
have been in the form of
U.S. loan guarantees and
would not come directly
from the Treasury, thus

U.S. Foreign Aid Legislation
Narrowly Passes First Test
WASHINGTON (JTA)
The House Wednesday ap-
proved a foreign aid authori-
zation bill containing $2.26
billion in military and eco-
nomic supporting assistance
for Israel for fiscal year
1976. The vote was 215-185,
a margin of only 30 votes,
which indicated that a Pres-
idential veto would with-
stand an over-riding at-
tempt.
Less than three_ hours
after the House action the
Senate adopted the same
measure by a 51-34 margin.
This vote --Was also not
strong enough to over-ride
the threatened veto.
There was stiff op-
position from Republicans
and conservative democrats
who supported President
Ford's demand for deletion
of provisions that he,said in-
hibited his authority in con-
ducting the nation's foreign
policy. In addition to Israel,
beneficiaries of the measure
include Egypt, which would
receive $700 million in eco-
nomic assistance, Syria,
Jordan and some 50 other
countries.
Opposition to the authori-
zation bill was crystalized in
a motion by Rep. Edward
Derwinski (R-Ill.) who con-
tended that its provisions
would "make it almost im-
possible for the President
and the Secretary of State
to carry out U.S. foreign
policy."
Derwinskis' motion,
which would have sent the
measure back to the Sen-
ate-House conference com-
mittee, effectively ending
its chances of passage be-
fore the end of the current
fiscal year on June 30, was
defeated 214 188. Rep.
-
Thomas Morgan (D-Pa.),
chairman of the House In-
ternational ,Relations
Committee, said recom-
mittal of the bill would in
no way change the Senate-
House conference report.
He said that if President
Ford vetoes the authoriza-
tion measure "he must
face the consequences."
Congressmen favoring the
bill pointed out that unless
it is passed, the foreign aid
program would be thrown
into cdmplete chaos with no
legislation to assist coun-
tries dependent on U.S. aid.
One of the possible consequ-
ences mentioned was the
fall of the Rabin govern-
ment in Israel.
Wednesday's vote is only
the first step in the legisla-
tive process for foreign aid.
Esteem the children of
the ignorant, for they shall
disseminate knowledge.
