The American Jewish Congress called on President Nixon today to reject pressures aimed at forcing Israel to rely on international guarantees instead of defensible borders for her security. In a telegram to the White House, the Congress warned of “another Munich” if Israel did not have secure boundaries. “Certainly Israel cannot again be called upon to risk destruction because of the promises of government spokesmen.”
