I found Mr. Ben-Gurion's description of Israel's plans and progress most interesting. As you know, the United States is desirous of contributing to the peace, welfare and stability of all of the states of the Near East. Israel, as an important member of the Near East community, will receive a share of any aid which this Government is in a position to furnish, 1 am certain that in the third year of your nation's independ- ence Israel will continue to make great strides in develop- ment and production. With kindest personal regards, the NATIONAL Sincerely yours, the SERVICE" Sgd) HARRY S. TRUMAN His Excellency Chaim W eizmann President of Israel Tel Aviv, Israel
