Statement on Scientific and Technological Cooperation With Egypt
and Israel
(September 29, 1980)
To the Congress of the United States:
Pursuant to Section 8 of Public Law 96-35, I am pleased
to transmit the report outlining plans for United States' participation
and support of scientific and technological activities involving Egypt
and Israel.
It is clear that science and technology have played
an important role in strengthening U.S. bilateral cooperation with these
countries. Recognizing this, my Administration fully supports the view
that encouraging trilateral cooperation on activities of a scientific
and technological nature can contribute much to building a permanent
structure of peace in the Middle East. We will continue to support the
development and strengthening of scientific and technological activities
that enhance relations between the peoples of Egypt, Israel and the
United States.
