the Middle East is vitally important to United States security
interests in the region. The Congress recognizes that, in fulfilling
its obligations under the Treaty of Peace Between the Arab Republic of
Egypt and the State of Israel, done at Washington on March 26, 1979,
Israel incurred severe economic burdens. Furthermore, the Congress
recognizes that an economically and militarily secure Israel serves the
security interests of the United States, for a secure Israel is an
Israel which has the incentive and confidence to continue pursuing the
peace process. Therefore, the Congress declares that, subject to the
availability of appropriations, it is the policy and the intention of
the United States that the funds provided in annual appropriations for
the Economic Support Fund which are allocated to Israel shall not be
less than the annual debt repayment (interest and principal) from
Israel to the United States Government in recognition that such a
principle serves United States interests in the region.
