A spokesman for the Israel Embassy today expressed “appreciation and satisfaction” at the announcement made yesterday by the State Department that Israel is now eligible to receive U.S. Government aid in acquiring arms in this country.
The spokesman added that the agreement covered reimbursible aid and that Israel is encouraged “by this important development to hope for favorable attention to its request, which is still pending, for military aid under Section 202 of the Mutual Security Program.”
