6 Treaty of Peace Between the Arab Republic of Egypt and

7 the State of Israel, done at Washington on March 26,

10 militarily secure Israel serves the security interests of the

11 United States, for a secure Israel is an Israel which has

12 the incentive and confidence to continue pursuing the

13 peace process. Therefore, the Congress declares that, sub14 ject to the availability of appropriations, it is the policy

15 and the intention of the United States that the funds pro16 vided in annual appropriations for the Economic Support

17 Fund which are allocated to Israel shall not be less than

18 the annual debt repayment (interest and principal) from

19 Israel to the United States Government in recognition that

20 such a principle serves United States interests in the
