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 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 prin-
ciple serves United States interests in the region.
