But on Monday, the State
Department issued a statement
declaring that it did not bow to
pressure in not naming an Israeli
to chair at least one of the
panels of the Desalination Sympo-
sium. "There is no basis what-
ever for these allegations," the
statement said. "The Desalination
Symposium is a technical confer-
ence designed primarily to pro-
vide a forum for the exchange
of information among scientists
and technicians.
"Representatives of certain coun-
tries have been invited to read
papers before different panels. In
order to encourage the fullest
possible participation by delegates
attending the symposium, certain
representatives of countries not
presenting as many papers as
other nations have been invited
to serve as chairmen of the various
panels," the statement declared.
"The United States has always
deplored and sought to prevent the
injection of political issues into
scientific and technical conferences.
It would have been entirely in-
consistent with established - policy
for the United States Government
to have complied with such pres-
sures had they been made."
Although six prominent Israeli
desalination authorities will deliver
important research papers at the
symposium and Israel, in direct
cooperation with the United States,
is a world leader in desalting
technology, the State Department
is charged with surrender to Arab
threats. Arab governments served
notice that they would not part-
icipate in any symposium panel
under chairmanship of an Israeli.
Egypt is far behind Israel in de-
salting research and is not sub-
mitting a single research paper to
the symposium. But Dr. Moustafa
Hafez, representing the Egyptian
Ministry of Scientific Research, of
Cairo, was named chairman of the
session on conversion plant eco-
nomics "to give the Arabs a sense
of participation." No Israeli was
appointed to head any such panel
session "to avoid offending Arab
sensitivities." Nineteen scientists
from 11 nations, UNESCO, and the
United Nations were announced by
President Johnson as selected to
act as panel chairmen for the
various panels.
