President , Ford
President Ford has demonstrated his
dependability over 28 years...as a
Congressman, Vice-President and
President. We can believe him when
he speaks out on these crucial
issues...

Israel
"There will be no imposed solutions,
but agreements whose terms are
hammered out between the parties."
"There will be no one-sided
concessions."
"We will proceed as we have in the
closest constant consultations with
Israel."
"I am proud to stand on my
consistent 28-year record of support
for Israel. You know where I stand."
"The funds I proposed for Israel in
my first two budgets totaled over $4
billion for 27 months. These figures
speak more eloquently than words."
Soviet Jewry
"I will continue to seek further
progress on the issue of emigration
from the Soviet Union. I raised it
personally with General Secretary
Brezhnev. I have discussed it on
many occasions with my former
colleagues in the House and in the
Senate with the determination to
restore the prior rate of emigration."
Zionism and the UN
i`I tell you now that we will fight any
Measure that condemns Zionism as
racism or that attempts to deny Israel
her full rights ofmembership in the
United Nations."
Terrorism
"A free people must never capitulate
to terrorism...Certainty of
punishment prevents crimce.-1 very
strongly urge international action to
stamp out terrorism wherever it may
occur."
"The Entebbe raid on July 4 was a
magnificent display of heroism and
dedication really unmatched in recent
history throughout the world."
"As good a friend
as Israel's had!"
Jewish Week and American Examiner, August 22-28, 1976
Arab Boycott
We agree that President Ford is such
a friend.
"I opposed Arab boycott practices
when I was in Congress...As
President, I have taken the strongest
executive action in American history
against economic practices that
discriminate against American
citizens."
U.S. AID TO ISRAEL

In just two years,
— President Ford will
have provided Israel
with 40% of all aid it
— has ever received from
the United States.
That's why we can depend on him.
"The U.S. government supports Israel in the
international arena, in the supply of arms
and in economic aid almost with no
precedence. The margin between what we
want and what we get is very small."
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
Rabbinical Council of America
August, 1976
`A review of President Gerald Ford's record
in Congress offers strong assurance that the
United States will continue to be deeply
concerned about Israel's security and the
search for an Arab-Israel peace...,
s,
"The best reassurance is the consensus on
Ford's character, revealed over the years. He
is an honest man who has always spoken
frankly and who is unlikely to yield to
political and diplomatic convenience."
