1 "PART VI
2 "SEC. 901. STATEMENT OF POLICY.-The Congress
3 recognizes that a peaceful and lasting resolution of the divi-
4 sive issues that have contributed to tension and conflict
5 between nations in the Middle East is essential to the security
6 of the United States and the. cause of world peace. The Con-
7 gress declares and finds that the United States can and
8 should play a constructive role in securing a just and durable
9 peace in the Middle East by facilitating increased under-
10 standing between the Arab nations and Israel, and by as-
11 sisting the nations in the area in their efforts to achieve
12 economic progress and political stability, which are the es-
13 sential foundations for a just and durable peace. It is the
14 sense of Congress that United States assistance programs in
15 the Middle East should be designed to promote mutual re-
16 spect and security among the nations in the area and to
17 foster a climate conducive to increased economic develop-
mment, thereby contributing to a community of free, secure,
and prospering nations in the Middle East.
"It is further the sense of Congress that none of the
funds authorized by this Acct should be provided to any
nation which denies its citizens the right or opportunity to
emigrate.
