Rep. Jonathan Bingham, a New York Democrat. Introduced a resolution in the House today calling on the Nixon Administration to withdraw specific proposals for a Middle East settlement made last fall and to refrain in the future “from attempting to impose a settlement in the Middle East or to bring pressure on the parties to accept any particular set of proposals.” The resolution was co-sponsored by 18 other House members of both parties. It asked the Administration to “re-affirm the previous policy of insisting on negotiations between the parties as the only long term solution and to supply Israel with necessary military assistance.” Mr. Bingham said his resolution was consistent with other declarations before the House but went further.
