THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
April 27, 1976
Dear Mr. President:
On behalf of the American people, I offer my warm-
est congratulations to you and your fellow citizens
on the occasion of the twenty-eighth anniversary of
the independence of Israel. The strong friendship
between our two countries has continued since the
creation of the State of Israel, in which we are proud
to have played a role. This friendship has matured
and deepened through our common striving over the
years to help advance a final peace in the Middle
East. It has been reinforced by our admiration for
the cultural and scientific genius of the Israeli people
and for their dedication to democracy.
The United States remains firmly committed to the
existence and security of Israel and to efforts to
contribute to the achievement of a just and enduring
peace in your region. The courage and conviction of
the people of Israel provide your country with a spe-
cial strength in the search for a lasting peace in the
Middle East. In meeting the challenges of the future,
you will continue to have our prayers, our support
and our sympathetic understanding.
With warm personal regards,
Herald R. Ford
His Excellency
Ephraim Katzir
President of Israel
