Rep. Ogden Reid, New York Republican, who served formerly as American Ambassador to Israel, today introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives urging the President to reaffirm American interest in Middle Eastern peace and to “declare the intention of the United States Government–upon the request of any state in the area which considers itself threatened–immediately to take action, both within and outside the United Nations, to prevent such violation and to preserve the peace and stability of the area.”
Rep. Reid’s proposed resolution would urge the President “to reiterate the unalterable opposition of the United States Government to use of force or the threat of force among any of the states in that area, for the purpose of violating or altering frontiers or armistice lines, or for any other purpose which would threaten the peace and stability of the area.”
