Ford Explains Veto; Re-Affirms Support for Israel
(Continued from Page 1)
The new bill, covering aid
programs for fiscal 1976 and
fiscal 1977, includes, as did
the earlier one, the Senate's
formula providing funding'
for the transitional quarter
between the two fiscal years
in the amount of up to 25
percent of what each recipi-
ent country would receive
for fiscal 1976.
If this measure is
adopted and signed into
law, Israel stands to re-
ceive about $550 million
to cover its military needs
for the three months
between the end of fiscal
1976 on June 30 and the
start of fiscal 1977 on Oct.
1. This would be in addi-
tion to the approximately
$4.1 billion earmarked for
Israel for both fiscal years.
Some 50 other countries,
including Egypt, Syria
and Jordan, would benefit
proportionately. Egypt is
slated to receive $1.8 bil-

Middle East involvements
as vital factors in U. S. for-
eign policies became a cen-
tral theme for candidates
invading Michigan in quest
for communal support.
Morris Udall has already
emerged as a major de-
fender of Israel who advo-
cates direct Arab-Israel
talks as a way of bridging
the gaps between the two
contending forces.
Jimmy Carter has in-
sisted that he supports a
strong policy in Israel's be-
half.
The views of President
Gerald Ford are generally
known, but his veto of the
foreign aid bill has ar-
oused concern bordering
on serious protests. In re-
pudiation of what his de-
fenders term as policy of
appeasement Ronald Re-
agan this week entered the
Michigan political arena
with a platform defining a
firm policy to repel what-
ever dangers confront Is-
rael.
In New York, Newsweek
magazine reprinted Carter's
stand on the Arab-Israeli
conflict:
"He believes that ulti-
mately the legitimate inter-
ests of the Palestinians are
going to have to be recog-
nized -and suggests that they
might be resettled on the
West Bank, preferably un-
der Jordan's sovereignty.

American companies with
foreign countries in excess
of $25 million. That provi-
sion is subject to a concur-
rent resolution of Congress
which means that if both
houses forbid such deals,
they are automatically
barred without presidential
authority.
Four other provisions of
the vetoed measure are also
contained in the new bill.
These include a ban on for-
eign aid to any country that
harbors international ter-
rorists, discriminates
against Americans on
grounds of race, color, creed
or sex or violates human
rights that are recognized
under international coven-
ants.

In deference to Ford's
opposition, the Foreign Re-
lations Committee dropped
from the new measure a
provision contained that set
a $9 billion ceiling on the
amount of arms the U.S.
can sell abroad in any given
year.
However, it retained the
provision that permits Con-

But the U.S. should recog-
nize a Palestinian state only
if the Palestinians affirm
Israel's right to survive, and
Israel must retain its 1967
territories until both the
Arab nations and the Soviet
Union guarantee Israel's
security."
Carter said he believes
that the Soviet Union should
participate in the negotia-
tions to solve the Arab-Is-
raeli conflict. There is no
way to solve the conflict
without the Soviets assist-
ance, according to Carter.
Meanwhile, two of for-
mer Gov. Jimmy Carter's
closest aides have vigor-
ously denounced accusa-
tions levelled against him
by former speech writer,
Robert Shrum, about the
Jewish vote in the Georgi-
an's primary campaign for
the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination.
Carter's chief media
spokesman, Jody Powell,
said that Carter "has ex-
pressed concern at the lack
of support from Jewish vot-
ers" but "in a completely
different context" from that
stated by Shrum. Carter's
national issues coordinator,
Stuart Eizenstat, a leader of
Atlanta's Jewish commu-
nity, described the accusa-
tion as a "total fabrication."
In accusing Carter of "a
degree of manipulation and
deception," Shrum quoted
the candidate as saying:
"We have to be cautious. We
don't want to offend any-
body . . . I don't want•any
more statements on the
Middle East or Lebanon.
(Sen. Henry M.) Jackson has
all the Jews anyway. It
doesn't matter how far I go,
I won't get over four percent
of the Jewish vote anyway,
so forget it. We get the
Christians."
Shrum said he did not be-
lieve Carter intended that
remark as anti-Semitic but
rather as a concept of politi-
cal pragmatism.
According to the Post,
Shrum, a former speech
writer for Sen. George
McGovern (D. SD), Sen.
Edmund S. Muskie (D.
Me.) and former New York .
Mayor John V. Lindsay,
joined Carter's speech
writing team only two
weeks before he quit fol-
lowing Carter's victory in
the Pennsylvania primary.
Eizenstat
responded
tersely to Shrum's com-
ments about Carter's re-
marks. "I was present at
many of the meetings in-
volving the discussions re-
ferred to by Shrum and they
(his comments) are total
fabrications," Eizenstat
said. Powell observed that
Shrum's "statement that
Carter did not need Jewish
votes is totally ridiculous
and contradictory to the
concern Carter has felt and
expressed himself about it."

To meet Ford's complaint
that these measures inhib-
ited his Presidential right to
conduct the nation's foreign
policy, the Foreign Rela-
tions. Committee agreed
that the provisions of the
new measure would be sub-
ject to joint resolutions in-
stead of concurrent resolu-
tions. The difference is that
the President can veto a
joint resolution but must ac-
cept a concurrent resolu-
tion. Joint resolutions have,
expediting procedures at-
tached to them to prevent ,
possible filibuster.
Meanwhile, Michigan
House Majority leader Jo-
seph Forbes (D-Southfield,
Oak Park) formally en-
dorsed the presidential can-
didacy of Carter.
Joining Forbes in the
endorsement of Carter
were 34 other Democratic
members of the Michigan
House, including House
Speaker Bobby D. Crim,
Speaker Pro Tem Mat- ,
thew McNeely and Asso-
ciate Speaker Pro Tem
James E. O'Neill, Jr.
