supplies 443.sup.003 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

We were very much depon supplies from the United States, and, for some reason, because of political problems, the Americans were not glad to send them on an air convoy. We were very disappointed and angry that supplies were arriving very slowly and only on our El Al aircraft. And the air convoy was delayed and delayed, and only towards the end of the battles was it organized and weapons were sent over. We knew this in the battlefield and we were very angry about these delays, especially since we knew that at the same time the Russians were constantly sending weapon systems and ammunition to the Syrians and Egyptians.
