A high-level delegation of Zionist Organization of America leaders–headed by the group’s president, Herman L. Weisman–met with Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Rep, Hale Boggs on Wednesday and told him that the stationing of a Four Power peace-keeping force in the Middle East, including American and Soviet troops, cannot be a substitute for defensible and secure boundaries for Israel. Boggs was sympathetic with the views expressed by the delegation and promised to give them full consideration. The delegation also apprised the Congressional leader of the plight of Soviet Jews who are not permitted to go to Israel.
