Israel Ambassador Abba Eban, accompanied by Israel Minister David Goitein, met today with the newly-appointed Under Secretary of State Walter Bedell Smith and discussed matters concerning Israel and its relations with its Arab neighbors.

The Ambassador formally renewed Israel’s application for military aid from the United States within the terms of the Mutual Security Act. The conversation lasted 45 minutes and, before his departure, the Ambassador left formal notes elaborating the main points discussed. He later said he “emerged with great confidence” from the conference.
