$200,000,000 Bond Quota Adopted at Miami C9nferenee More than 2,500 delegates en- dorsed the adoption of a quota of $200,000,000 for the Israel Bond campaign throughout. the free world. The record-breaking $61,000,000 result of the initial Israel Bond sale was announced by Samuel Roth- berg, national campaign chairman, who characterized it as "a lasting tribute to Levi Eshkol" and as a "demonstration of our solidarity with the people of Israel in their struggle for a just peace." Rothlberg sounded the keynote of the conference when he de- clared that "the 1969 Israel Bond campaign must be a resounding demonstration of *clarity with the people of Israel in their pe- riod of mourning the death of Prime Minister Eshkol and in the midst of their most critical strug- gle for a just peace." An air of solemnity hung over the conference, which was convert- ed into the first nationwide me- morial tribute to the late prime minister of Israel on the part of Jewish communal leaders from all sections of the country. Rabin declared that Israel is now engaged in three struggles for survival: The political struggle for peace, the military struggle for physical survival and the struggle for national consolida- tion through development. Ambassador Rabin placed the greatest stress on the role of de- velopment and consolidation of the economic and social structure of Israel as a decisive factor in its capacity to survive. Louis H. Boyar, chairman of the Israel Bond Board of Governors, introduced Rabin. Jacques Torczylier, president of the Zionist Organization of Amer- ica, declared it was important that Israel's new cabinet should continue to be a government of national unity. Shimon Alexandroni, Israel's eco- nomic minister to the United States, emphasized that Israel's mounting expenditures for defense, equal to 20 per cent of its gross national product, were depleting the coun- try's foreign exchange reserves. However, he also observed that its economy was. now growing at a rapid rate, having achieved an un- precedented 14 per cent increase in its gross national product the last year. He also reported that Israel's industrial production had risen by a record sum of $570,000,000 last year to reach a total of $2,857,000,- 000 out of a gross national product of $3,900,000,000 in 1968.
