conveyed to the parliament the °
wish expressed by all Israeli of-

met for an enlargement of all
elements in the existing EEC-Israel
pact so that a "real association
agreement" - could be reached.
"The delegation took note that
the existing agreement must be

rael Embassy said that Louk had
met with an Israeli consul and
had said that he was "ready to sub-
mit himself to Israeli law." He
also declared he was satisfied with
the treatment by Italian police.
Louk, or "Dahan," admitted to
Rome newspapermen that he
had been working for the Egyp-
tian secret service. According to
hini, he had come to Rome to
discuss with the Egyptians "fu
ture conditions of work," pre-
sumably involving the payment

When they searched his room,
police found a signet ring (above)
with a secret compartment appar-

Police said he was born in Span-

arrested frequently prior to his
defection to the Egyptian-con-

Louk told the press conference
in police headquarters that no
agreement had been made on the
"conditions" and, to win time, he
told the Egyptians he was "ready
to return to Cairo."
It was after that conference, he
said, that he had been drugged in
preparation for the attempt to
abduct him.
Italian police said, further, that
Louk told them he had fallen out
of favor with an Egyptian organi-
zation, which gave him the choice
of "dropping out" of the organiza-
tion, or being sent to Cairo "to
talk to the boss."

shown signs of having been used
before to transport victims.
He was discovered when a cus-
toms official heard sounds coming
from the trunk, which the Egyp-
tians explained were from a
"musical instrument."
