Abstract
King Hussein of Jordan, in a press conference at Amman on April 30th, referred to the much publicized Jordan crisis as "merely a domestic affair." He added that there was no basis whatever for the charge that the United States had interfered in Jordan's affairs. The acceptance by the Jordan government of a special United States grant-in-aid could not be regarded as interference. Charges of intervention made by the Soviet Union against the United States were without foundation. "I believe that statement to have no basis whatsoever," the King said. "Everything that has taken place in Jordan has been of our own doing."
