•Guide to the Stephen B. L. Penrose, Jr. Papers 1908-1990:
“...At the time of his death, Penrose was America’s best-known advocate of Palestinian statehood. He wrote worked tirelessly for better understanding between the Arab World and the United States. “America’s stake in the Middle East is fundamentally the possibility of losing World War III before a shot has been fired,” he warned an audience at the Delmonico Hotel in New York in January 1951. Two years later, in May 1953, Penrose testified before the United States Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Middle East that, “It is no exaggeration to say that upon the solution to the problem of Palestine rests not only the peace of the Middle East but very possibly of the entire world . . .”
