It overcomes the exaggeration (or reduction) of areas near the center which is encountered in certain other types of similar projections, emphasizes the spheric shape of the world." Iconography and descriptive text throughout, e.g.: Continuance of relief for Arab refugees and further reconciliation of basic issues between Israel and the Arab states will be supported by the U. S.
