UN General Assembly
1962

33. The period since the last session of the General Assembly has been characterized, in the Middle East particularly, by an obvious increase in the activities of the colonial Powers and their reactionary agents in the region, despite the manifestations of casual friendship and amity. A number of States have received, from the United States in particular, increased aid for military purposes, and military bases have been strengthened by men and war materials. All these activities have not been accidental, but were intentional and are part of an over-all plan aimed at keeping tension and instability in the whole Middle East region.
