THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 8 May 14, 1976 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.

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.

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.

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." country that transfers them to third nation with- out specific permission from the U.S. 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. The Carter office in Troy has announced it will pro- vide transportation to the polls on Tuesday for persons to vote in Michigan's Presi- dential primary.
