ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND ASSISTANCE FOR ISRAEL
SEC. 517. The Congress finds that progress on the peace process
in the Middle East is vitally important to United States security
interests in the region. The Congress recognizes that, in fulfilling
its obligations under the Treaty of Peace Between the Arab Republic
of Egypt and the State of Israel, done at Washington on March
26, 1979, Israel incurred severe economic burdens. Furthermore,
the Congress recognizes that an economically and militarily secure
Israel serves the security interests of the United States, for a
secure Israel is an Israel which has the incentive and confidence
to continue pursuing the peace process. Therefore, the Congress
declares that, subject to the availability of appropriations, it is
the policy and the intention of the United States that the funds
provided in annual appropriations for the Economic Support Fund
which are allocated to Israel shall not be less than the annual
debt repayment (interest and principal) from Israel to the United
States Government in recognition that such a principle serves
United States interests in the region.

Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to pay for the

to undergo sterilizations. None of the funds made available to
carry out part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended,
may be used to pay for any biomedical research which relates
in whole or in part, to methods of, or the performance of, abortions
or involuntary sterilization as a means of family planning. None
of the funds made available to carry out part I of the Foreign
Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be obligated or expended

to UNFPA for fiscal year 1995: Provided further, That, pursuant
to the previous proviso, such funds may be apportioned only on
a monthly basis, beginning July 1, 1996 and ending September
30, 1997, and such monthly apportionments may not exceed 6.67
percent of the total available for such activities: Provided further,
