The past commanders of seven major American war veterans organizations told newsmen here yesterday that they will urge the Nixon administration to continue its military aid to Israel and to render Israel full political support within and outside the United Nations. The group met with reporters after completing a week-long tour of the country. They left for home today. They also said they would seek a commitment from the Nixon administration to exercise the American veto power in the Security Council if necessary to prevent the adoption of further resolutions “which have historically represented only the Soviet-Arab point of view.” The veterans groups represented were: the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, Amvets, Veterans of the First World War, Veterans of Foreign Ware, Catholic War Veterans and Jewish War Veterans of the United States.
