Eisenhower, Dwight D. Typed letter signed ("Ike") on "DDE" letterhead, 1p, 10¼x7 in., Indio, California, 13 April 1968. To Lewis Strauss (1896-1974), who served as chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission between 1953 and 1958, regarding Metropolitan Philip Saliba, Archbishop of the Syrian Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of New York and North America. Saliba has told Eisenhower of his "plan for devising a political entity in the Palestine area which he wants to call the Holy Land…." and which Saliba would like to combine with a plan Strauss has "for converting sea water to fresh in Israel and Egypt--possibly using the major part of the Jordan River flow for the benefit of Jordan---and for the distribution of power and pure water…throughout the area…." Very fine.
