ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND ASSISTANCE FOR ISRAEL SEC. 529. The Congress finds that progress on the peace process in the Middle East is vitally important to United States security interests in the region.

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 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.
