President Truman told his news conference today that he has the matter of de jure recognition for Israel under consideration now. This was the only comment the President would make on the question of whether the Recognition would be delayed until after the Israeli elections in November.
The President was later quoted by a post-conference visitor as saying he hoped” the Export-Import Bank would be able to grant Israel a $100,000,000 loan. The caller was David Dubinsky, leader of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union.
