Attended by Senators
NEW YORK (JTA) — Brooklyn
'Borough President Sebastian Leone
and four U.S. senators participated
in a three-day conference in Tel
Aviv designed to strengthen trade
ties betwen the United States and
Israel.
The conference "Doing Business
in the United States and Israel"
was cosponsored by the U.S. Small
Business Administration and the
Israel Investment and Export
Authority.
"I welcome this opportunity to
visit Israel for the first time," said
Leone, "to observe the develop-
ment of this great nation and to ex-
change ideas with their small bus-
inessmen. I know many of them are
interested in entering into joint
ventures with their American
counterparts in such areas as fur-
niture, plastics, shoes, chemicals,
textiles, electronics, food proces-
sing and similar fields." The four
senators were Edward J. Gurney,
Florida Republican; William B.
Saxbe, Ohio Republican; Allan
Bible, Nevada Democrat; and John
Tower, Texas Republican.
possible American and Soviet
participation in a military buffer
force in the Middle East."
Asked by newsmen if the por-
tions published were correct, Mc-
Closkey replied, "No, not entirely."
In addition, he said, parts were
"out of context" and other parts
were "omitted." The published
parts represented "unauthorized
use of a private message," he
declared, adding: "I say this more
in sorrow than in anger. We have
tried steadfastly to keep things in
private channels, and we will con-
tinue to do so."
Some material carried in the
first edition of the Times was
deleted from later editions. It in-
cluded purported references by
Rogers to Big Four participation
in the determination of an honor-
able peace. The quoted reference
to the Big Four was "importantly
wrong" and "out of context," Mc-
Closkey asserted. "We maintain
and continue to maintain that the
Security Council is the only body
for a settlement. The Big Four as
a unit has no decision - making
authority. It is an important con-
sultative group." The basis for a
settlement, he emphasized, was
"set forth in the Security Council
Resolution (No. 242 of Nov. 22,
1967)."
A State Department source told
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
that the published material treated
the Rogers letter in "bowdlerized
fashion." He emphasized that "we
don't make these things public."
The source contended that the
material had been given to Times
correspondent Raymond H. Ander-
son in Cairo by Egyptians.
Newsweek, in reply to a. query
"What Next Along the Suez?"
stated: "U.S. military experts will
make cautious bets that Egypt
will not start war anew along the
Suez when the new 30-day stand-
still runs out. For one thing, Israel
is buying twelve more Phantom
jets for delivery by next May, a
fact that will give them qualitative
air superiority. Russian interven-
tion would wipe-out that edge, but
the Pentagon analysts see good
reason to doubt that will happen.
Kremlin leaders would not want
to greet the 24th Soviet Party
Congress next month, they reason,
with a Mid East war on their
hands.")
The United States government
has reportedly assured Israel that
it does not regard a possible Four-'
Power guarantee of future borders
between Israel and its neighbors
as a substitute for a firm peace
agreement that will establish sec-
ure borders.
The latest American note sought
to allay Israeli fears arising from
Washington's apparent readiness
to discuss the subject of Mid East
guarantees with the other major
powers—the Soviet Union, Britain
and France. The U.S. reportedly
stated that there was no change in
its policy in this regard.
