Sen. Daniel K. Inouye (D.Hawali) received a standing ovation last night when he told a B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation League dinner that he would recommend to the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee of which he is chairman that Israel receive the full $2.2 billion in aid recommended by the Nixon Administration. Inouye spoke to some 600 persons at Ahavoth Achim Synagogue. Georgia Senator Herman Talmadge received the local ADL’s Abe Goldstein Human Relations Award.
Inouye warned against those who would give in to Arab oil blackmail, especially those who also dismissed the Munich murders as a “Jewish problem.” “This is our problem,” he insisted, “it is an American problem; it is a world problem.” He warned: “It may be oil today, and tomorrow it may be tin, copper or bauxite.” Two House committees overwhelmingly approved on Dec. 4 the $2.2 billion measure.
