- ACTION ALERT #37
- August 13, 1992
- LAST CHANCE TO STOP LOAN GUARANTEES!
- Loans will fund settlements and threaten peace process
- The loan guarantee debate has once again moved to center stage
- with President Bush's announcement on August 11th that he and
- Israeli Prime Minister Rabin had agreed on the "basic principles"
- on which the US would extend Israel $10 billion in loan guarantees
- over a five year period.
- THE MERITS OF AMERICAN LOAN GUARANTEES MUST BE
- EVALUATED UNDER TWO CRITERIA: WHAT ARE THE COSTS TO
- AMERICANS AND HOW WILL THEY AFFECT PALESTINIANS
- AND PROSPECTS FOR REGIONAL PEACE?
-
- ACTION IS CRUCIAL!
-
- It appears that Congress will consider the loan guarantees when it
- resumes its sessions after Labor Day. Before then your elected
- officials, challengers in the forthcoming elections and local
- communities need to learn that loan guarantees to Israel are NOT
- in the best interest of the US or the Middle East peace
- negotiations. The following sample letter can be adapted to send
- to your local and regional newspapers.
- For full text, please see conf: <mideast.action>. Your immediate
- response is critical.
