October 31, 1967 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE
in the Israeli views, is the most important
points, not to go back to the June 4th situa-
tion, but to create a better situation.
The next stage should be not truce or arm-
istice, but peace, and the fragile and violated
armistice lines should not be superseded and
replaced by accepted and permanent secure
national frontiers. And, fourthly, the respon-
sibility for building the new Middle Eastern
peace, rests primarily on the states of the
region, although they could be helped by out-
side forces,
Those are the three or four main elements
in that address, and although no two gov-
ernments would ever formulate their posi-
tions in identical terms, and we, of course,
have views on other things there, we
believe that these main principles should be
the basis of any forward looking Interna-
tional treatment of the Middle Eastern
Crisis.
Mr. LEROY. If peace comes to Israel, will
Israel send a token task force to help us in
Vietnam?
Mr. EBAN. Well, the Israeli position on Viet-
nam was outlined by me in the United Na-
tions General Assembly on the second of
October of this year, about this very hypo-
thetical question of, if peace comes to Israel
will Israel send a token task force to Viet-
nam. I hope by the time that peace has come
to Israel, peace will have come to Vietnam
as well.
Mr. LEROY, Sir, will you kindly tell us, in
general of the foreign aid programs that
Israel is now operating for the benefit of
other countries?
Mr. EBAN. We don't call it a foreign aid
program, but we call it an international co-
operation program, not only for diplomatic
reasons, but because it really is cooperation,
that is to say, that we think that we gain in
many ways as much as we give, and that
there is therefore, a reciprocal element in
this program, which is however, of unusual
scope. And, Israel has assistance programs,
technical cooperation programs with some 58
countries in Africa, in parts of the South-
eastern Asian area, and increasingly, per-
haps, surprisingly, with many of the Ameri-
can republics.
Some, 2,000-I'm sorry, some 12,000 young
leaders of the future communities of these
countries have had periods of training in
Israel's institutions of learning and science,
and in special courses. And some 2,500 Is-
raeli experts, doctors, scientists, nurses,
teachers, agricultural specialists, irrigation
experts, have worked in more than 50 coun-
tries, sharing our accumulated experiences
of the pioneering decades.
From here, I shall go to Organization of
American States, with whom we have agree-
ments, whereby Israel provides experts, usu-
ally financed by institutions of the American
system, similarly with the economic Com-
mission for Asia and the Far East, and with
the African organizations.
We think that in spite of the preoccupa-
tions and anxieties which crowd in upon us,
we should develop this International voca-
tion. Development is not merely a problem of
small countries receiving aid from rich and
powerfu countries, a great deal can be done
by the cooperation of small countries, each
with the other; for so many of them have
something in experience or in technological
capacity which the others lack, and there-
fore, this unusual appearance of a small de-
veloping nation, in the drama of develop-
ment, is something which does give a new
dimension to Israel's policy. And, we are
resolved, provided these other countries wish
to accept this cooperation, to maintain and
to expand it.
Mr. LEROY. Sir, If you'll answer this next
question, we'll promise to keep it off the re-
cord, just between us. What do you plan to
say to President Johnson this evening?
Mr. EBArr. Ladies and gentlemen, until you
release from here I can't plan anything at
all.
Mr. LEROY. Sir, would you comment on the
plan of our former AEC Chairman, Mr. Lewis
Strauss, which would set up a giant-gigantic
atomic powered desalting plant In the Medi-
terranean, with the view of giving the Mid-
dle East plenty of water and thereby, pros-
perity, in the hopes it would bring peace?
Mr. EBAN. The concept of developing irri-
gation through nuclear distillation as ex-
pressed In this plan has been expressed in
other plans, and Israel discussed this with the
United States in 1964, and this matter was
referred to in the joint statement published
by President Johnson and Prime Minister
Eshkol. It was decided that our governments
would investigate together and carryout such
agreed projects, as would illustrate the pos-
sibility of making water gvailable through
desalination, in order to increase the irrigated
areas of the Middle East.
Now, that discussion between our govern-
ments is still in active consideration, and
feasibility studies have been made, and that
is the framework within which Israel con-
siders her plans for desalination. But, we are
naturally interested in all other proposals
that are being made, and I hope to have a
chance of discussing with the initiators of
this project, the precise terms of intentions
that they have in mind.
Mr. LEROY. Sir, before the traditional final
question, I would like to present you with a
Certificate of Appreciation for this date. I'm
sure you have one or two of these, but you
can always use a spare.
And, the official silk necktie of the Na-
tional Press Club, complete with the owl
which screams if you ever say, "No com-
ment" while wearing it.
Sir, I have no idea whether we will receive
from the Arab nations a request for equal
time to answer your statements today, I have
no idea whether I will or not. I rather think
though, that thiss following final question
rather guarantees that I will have such a
request.
Here's the question, Washington delica-
tessens are now featuring an item called the
Nasser Sandwich, half tongue and half
chicken. Will this be part of any future tech-
nical assistance program you might have for
Egypt?
Mr. EBAN. You may quote me as saying, no
comment. .
Mr. LEROY.. Thank you very much,
