WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Seven of the 71 Senators who sent a letter to President
Ford saying that United Nations support for the Palestine Liberation
Organization undermined the world body as well as U.S. foreign policy discuss
the letter during a Capitol Hill news conference. From left to right are
Senators Clifford Case (R-N.J.), Henry Jackson (D-Wash.), Jacob Javits
(R-N.Y.), Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.), Richard Schweiker (R-Pa.), Abraham
Ribicoff (D-Conn.) and Howard Metzenbaum (D-Ohio). The letter said the recent
U.N. events “dramatize the need for the United States to take the lead in
organizing our friends and allies to resist political and economic blackmail
in the future. We do not believe that a policy of appeasement will be any
more successful now than it proved to be in the nineteen-thirties.” Credit
