They promised emphatically that the United States would hasten to rush warplanes to Israel at a later date if it appeared that Israel wasin peril. Mrs. Meir scheduled meetings today with U.S. Senators who are highly sympathetic to Israel’s demands for immediate and large scale resumption of warplane shipments.
