The department, meanwhile, said it could neither confirm nor deny reports that Egypt has embarked on nuclear-desalination and that the United States might assist. However, it was learned U.S. Department of Interior experts and other American nuclear development authorities went to Egypt over a year ago, accompanied by an observer from the International Atomic Energy Agency. They reviewed plans and advised the Egyptian government on a dual-purpose electricity and desalting plant powered by nuclear energy. Egypt subsequently • is believed to have had a British feasibility study made, and asked various countries to offer bids on building the plant. However, while the Department declined official comment on Egypt, an official spokesman said: "It has been generally understood that any U.S. participation in such an (Israeli) project would be accompanied by IAEA safeguards." Officials also said they could not deny reports that America has decided to link any loan to Israel for the nuclear desalting project with agreement by Israel to desist from development of a nuclear weapons potentiality. The United States will review "in detail" the recommendations of the study made in Israel on the feasibility of building a nuclear desalting plant there. But it was made clear that loans to implement the recommendations would depend upon Israeli non-proliferation commitments. It is assumed that any aid to Egypt on nuclear development would be linked to IAEA safeguards, although Department officials made plain that they stressed the need for an Israeli nonproliferation undertaking because Israel is regarded -near to a military nuclear potentiality. (The New York Times reported Monday from Cairo that the United States has under consideration a plan to help both the United Arab Republic and Israel build atomic reactors for desalting sea water as a means of heading off a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. "Under the plan, not yet approved in Washington, the United States would offer sizable financial assistance for reactors to both countries in return for their acceptance of full inspection of all their atomic activities by the International Atomic Energy Agency," the report said.) (In a statement to a parliamentary committee of the Knesset in Jerusalem on Wednesday, Israel's Foreign Minister Abba Eban denied that there is an agreement between Israel and the U.S. about supervisory rights over all Israeli nuclear installa- tions.

And now, when hearts beat glad and free, Come, gather all about, And tell once more how, long sincere, He Did put our foe to rout. Full oft has beauty ruled a land And held its sceptered sway; Full often foiled the avenging hand And bade oppres sion stay. But ne'er did beauty so avail As when fair Esther's charm `Gainst vengeful Haman did prevail To 'fend the Jews from harm. So all the dire impending woe That hovered o'er their head, Did light upon their ruthless foe And ruined him, instead. And thus, through all the ages long, In every land and clime, They chant an old thanksgiving song E'er mindful of that time. Yet, Israel's Guardian never sleeps— No slumber to His eye! But loving watch He ever keeps Upon His flock from high. —C. David Matt —Photo by Herbert S. Sonnenfeld, G'..7. ..;ttesy - Jewish Education Committee of New York Purim . . . 5726
