Israelis themselves. Nonetheless, our aid measures have formed a significant part of Israel's progress and have contributed importantly toward the maintenance of the growing national economy. "United States development assistance nnd technical cooperation," the President continued, "have played a major role in the tripling of the land area under Irrlgfitloiwinco the state was founded, in th^ doubling of agricultural nnd industrial production nnd power-generating capacity, the reduction In the trade deficit by $75,000.000 In three years, and the settling of ncfirly 700,000 immigrants In permanent or semi-permanent quarters. "Despite Its growing achievements, Israel continues to face a troublesome financial situation," President Klsenhower noted. "Its trade deficit of over 5200,000.000 nnd external debt of over $100,000,000 make It most difficult for it to pay from its own resources for the essential commodities nnd capital Items needed to sustain on adequate rate of development."
