Foreign Relations of the United States, 1955–1957,
Arab-Israeli Dispute, 1955, Volume XIV
List of Persons
-
Editor’s Note: The identification of persons in
this list is limited to circumstances and positions under reference in this
volume. Historical personages alluded to in the volume and certain minor
officials are not identified in this list. All titles and positions are
American unless there is an indication to the contrary.
- In this and in other editorial material throughout the volume (document
headings, footnotes, and editorial notes), every effort has been made to
provide recognizable and consistent transliterations of names of individuals
from countries using non–Roman alphabets. The transliterations adopted for
proper names were those commonly used by the Department of State at the
time, or in documents or official publications of the countries concerned.
(In the case of Arabic names, differences arise in the transliteration of
vowels. The editors have generally rendered the definite article as al-
rather than el–, and have omitted diacritical marks.)
