STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
During the recent meeting in London, the Foreign Ministers
of the United States, the United Kingdom, and France had an opportunity
to review the security and armaments situation in the Near Last and to
consider what action their Governments might take to provide greater
stability in the area. As a result of this consultation, a three-power
declaration is being issued. This is another of the many valuable re-
sults of the London meeting.
The participation of the United States Government in the
declaration emphasizes this country's desire to promote the maintenance
of peace in the Near East. It is the belief of the United States
Government that the declaration will stimulate, in the Arab states
and Israel, increased confidence in future security, thus accelerating
the progress now being made in the Near East and contributing toward
the well-being of the peoples there.
