		Use by the United States of the bases in Spain for non-NATO purposes was a matter requiring Spanish approval, which was not likely to be forthcoming unless the mission had Spain's endorsement.

		Just when the overwhelming majority of the Member States of the United Nations has resolutedly condemned the Israeli practices in the occupied Arab and Palestinian territories, which are illegal under international law, the world is being confronted with a new monstrous crime committed by the Israeli rulers.
		The United Nations - and in particular the Security Council - is duty bound to meet its responsibility, to act to bring about respect for the principles of the Charter and to see to it that the acts of aggression are met with adequate measures.
		It is precisely such unconditional assistance by the United States that has enabled Israel to invade first one Arab country and then another, to continue its illegal hold on the Palestinian and Arab territories it has occupied since 1967, and to escalate its repressive actions in the occupied territories against defenceless populations.

		The United States is included on this chart because in addition to its nuclear capabilities and deployments, US Department of Defense policy during recent years has been to maintain a "near-continuous presence" in the Persian Gulf.
		President Richard Nixon announced on 11/25/69 that the United States would "renounce the use of lethal biological agents and weapons...[and]...confine its biological research to defensive measures such as immunization and safety measures."
