The bill had been held up by a dispute between the Ford Administration and the congressional support- ers of Israel over the Transi- tional quarter funding. Originally, Congress wanted to provide Israel with $550 million in transi- tional quarter aid, which was 25 percent of the $2.2 billion appropriated for Is- rael for the 1976 Fiscal year. But Ford did not want any supplemental aid, saying that Israel and enough for its needs with the funds for 1976 and the $1.8 billion rec- ommended for the 1977 fis- cal year which begins Oct. 1. Supporters of Israel re- cently claimed that Ford later approved providing Israel $376 million in tran- sitional aid but then said recently he wanted to give Israel only $200 million dollars and divide the re- maining $176 million among several Arab coun- tries.
