m 'V ■ . i «N MR A« Series Continued from page 6. Israel. We believe strong relations between the U.S. and Israel and U.S.-Israeli cooperation in many areas further the cause of peace in the region. The U.S. also has strong and friendly relations with many Arab states in the Middle East and we are working to expand these ties which are important to the U.S. and to strengthening the at mosphere for peace. The founda tion of our policy has been, and remains, to have good relations with both Israel and friendly Arab states.” With the series comparing the U.S. funds Israel is receiving with relatively small amounts allocated for Africa, Mark Helmke, press secretary for Senator Richard Lugar (R-lnd.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said. Foreign aid is based not only on a definition for poverty. It is not a welfare program. It is a security program, tied to security and ideo logical purposes. That is not to take anything away from African countries. I he national security of Israel is very important to us.” An Israeli Embassy official, speaking on background about the Lavi article, said, “The Post did it because there are some in the ad ministration who feel uncomfor table with close relations with Israel. I hey are concerned because they feel they must come to grips with the Syrians by going more to the Arab point of view and look at the Arab world as an interests part ner. What they overlook and don’t want to admit is that close rela tions with Israel didn’t weaken America but strengthen America with the Arabs because the Arabs see the United States as the only country in the world that can send a message to Israel. Where do the Arab leaders go when they need help? To Washington.” The official said that the article gives the impression “Israel is ma nipulating America’s foreign pol icy. Everything that fits into that category is fine. You eliminate things you don’t want included. The selective material is collected for the preconceived idea. Every- thing (in the article) is right but the picture is wrong.” Referring to quotations from Israelis and others, the comment ing official said, “Such statements that an allocation for $150 million for Israel was pulled out of the air are ludicrous. But if 1 go into details, I would have to write three times the quantity of words in the articles and there is no point to that. Some people are quoted right. This man or that one wants to brag how important he is. Let history decide that the whole concept is wrong.” —To be continued — COUPON Sunny Garden Chinese Restaurant In Around Lenox Shopping Center "Serving the Best Chinese Food in Atlanta.” FREE Buy one Dinner and get ... __ second one of lesser value free.
