Sen. Herbert H. Lehman today introduced an amendment which would exempt Israel and the Arab states from a reduction in the appropriations contained in the version of the Mutual Security Bill reported out by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Sen. Lehman’s amendment would restore the amount proposed for aid to Jewish refugees in Israel from $66,380,000 to $76,000,000. It would also restore the original allocations proposed for technical assistance to both Israel and the Arab states as well as the aid designated to relieve Arab refugees in Arab states.
