Senators press for robust aid to Israel in new letter
Seventy five U S senators sent a joint letter to President Ford urging a foreign aid package responsive to Israel needs. Israel seeks 2.5 billion dollars for next year, including 1.8 billion in military aid and 700 million in economic loans. The administration defers submission until Middle East policy reassessment after Ford meets with Egyptian and Israeli leaders. The letter, circulated on Capitol Hill and drafted largely by Sen. Javits, underscores pro Israel strength and signals votes to boost aid if needed. The issue follows tension over Kissinger backed Egyptian Israeli talks and a freeze on new military commitments pending the review.
