The united states is expanding military deliveries to Israel.
According to American news agencies, the United States is sending Israel about 20 combat planes a day, not counting other military equipment. Speaking in Miami Beach, Florida, the head of the Pentagon, James Shlesinger, said that the size of military deliveries to Israel can be increased to any necessary level. The government intends to ask Congress for new allocations to pay for the “emergency deliveries” to Tel Aviv. The director of the administration and Budget Agency, R. Ash, has told the-House Budget Committee that the administration will ask for these purposes 500-700 million dollars. But even this huge sum, he said, does not represent the full cost of the Middle East war for the United States. According to the “New York Daily News”, Zionist organizations in the United States are continuing to recruit so-called “volunteers” for sending to Israel. Besides citizens of Jewish nationality, Zionists are looking for mercenaries among American military pilots who had fought in the Vietnam war. They are offered large sums of money.
