...Americans, in the historic traditions of this country, we avow Israel as a sovereign power in the family of nations, which sovereignty therefore must safeguard its own national interest on behalf of its citizens. America, similarly as a sovereign power, must also freely do likewise, unfettered in its foreign policy by pressures from communal minorities of Arab or Israeli ethnic sympathies, or motivated by empathy with their respective coreligionists...
...also through. On that I'm prepared to stand for elections-that this cannot happen, that these twelve miles can't be any more, and that the Golan Heights can't be any more. And I am not prepared that anybody should safeguard for me the free shipping through the Straits of Tiran...
Crucial Issue. Foster accused the Kennedy report of inconsistencies, overstatements, understatements and contradictions (it did, in fact, misspell Wiesner's name twice), claiming that it presents "incompetent, dangerous and inadequate alternatives" to Safeguard.

He is assuming that the Senate will go against Safeguard and would rather have the House in the position of vetoing Senate action than the other way around. The possibility of complete deadlock persists, of course. If that occurs, the Administration could attempt to win a few Senate converts by acquiescing to a modification of Safeguard's prospectus. Any such change-on paper at least-would have the aim of making the program seem more experimental and less of a firm undertaking to build...
