Samuel C. Waugh, Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, today urged a subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to ratify a treaty of friendship, commerce, and navigation which was negotiated some time ago with Israel along with similar treaties with other nations. Treaties now before the subcommittee with Israel, Denmark, Greece, Ethiopia and Italy were considered by the body at the last session but were not finally acted upon.

The Technical Cooperation Administration today announced that a total of 80 persons, including Americans and Israelis, are now employed by TCA in Israel on Point Four operations. Half of this number represent American employees and the other half are local workers. A summary of Point Four activities showed that the TCA operations include the expanding of agricultural production, health, sanitation, education, and development of natural resources.
