ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND ASSISTANCE FOR ISRAEL SEC. 517. The Congress finds that progress on the peace process in the Middle East is vitally importent 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 it is the policy and the intention of the United Stotes 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 Stotes Government in recognition that such a principle serves United States interests in the region. PROHIBITION CONCERNING ABORTIONS AND INVOLUNTARY STERILIZATION SEC. 518. None of the funds made available to cany out part I of the Foreign Assistonce Act of 1961, as amended, may be used to pay for the performance of abortions as a method of family planning or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions.
