ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND ASSISTANCE FOR ISRAEL
SEC. 517. The Congress finds that progress on the

the State of Israel, done at Washington on March 26,
1979, Israel incurred severe economic burdens. Further-
more, 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, sub-
ject to the availability of appropriations, it is the policy
and the intention of the United States that the funds pro-
vided 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

involuntary sterilization as a means of family planning.

the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be
