Rabbi Segal appealed to Attorney General Ramsey Clark to "undertake an intensive investigation of the nature of Arab propaganda and action on tha campuses and to suppress any manisiestations, i l l e g a l i t y , abuse and violence which are being indulged in by these Arab students organizations." He said, "it is absurd to permit thesa students to castigate the American Government..which, is extending to them extraordinary opportunities for study, learning and travel. They are abusing the hospitality and generosity of the American taxpayer who is defraying the costs of their lengthy stay in the United States.'" Rabbi Segal also called upon the State Department "to revoke the scholarships of these 7,000 Arab students who are not adhering to the requirements oE the moral and legal code which is in the grant of financial assistance. The A r a b students are collaborating actively with a variety of subversive elements such as the Communists and tha Black Nationalists in a deliberate effort to damage arid undermine the security of tho United States."
