Israel Ambassador Abba Eban arrived here from Israel this afternoon and immediately proceeded to the residence of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles to present to him the new instructions which he received in Jerusalem. They conferred for more than three hours, after which Mr. Eban issued the following statement agreed upon by Mr. Dulles and himself:
“Ambassador Eban having returned from consultations in Israel with new instructions conveyed to the Secretary of State his government’s position on the problems discussed during the previous week. The Secretary of State clarified certain points regarding the attitude and interests of the United States on matters discussed in the United States memorandum of February 11.
“The Ambassador of Israel is communicating urgently with his government on the contents of this conversation and remains in close contact with the Department of State. It was recognized that important aspects of the problems were primarily of concern to the United Nations and accordingly the Ambassador hopes promptly to confer again with the UN Secretary General. It is hoped that out of these discussions (in Washington and the United Nations) a solution will be found consistent with the principles of the United Nation.”
