An agreement between the Unit-
ed States and Israel that will help
Israel become self-sufficient in the
production of certain weapons,
does not involve nuclear weapons,
State Department spokesman Char-
les Bray said in reply to questions
at a news briefing.
The agreement, entered into last
fall but made public only last
week, calls for a limited trans-
fer of American technological, data_
and production knowledghlbat will
enable Israel to produce for itself
certain U.S.-designed defense ma-
terial.
Asked if It included nuclear tech-
nology, Bray said, "That is out of
the question."
The United States, may soon
supply Israel with 120 combat
aircraft — 40 Phantom jets and
311 of the slower but more versa-
tile Skyhawks, according to an
article in Time magazine.
The article attributed this
development to "knowledgeable
sources."
According to the Time report,
President Nixon agreed to the
deal following his meeting last
month with Premier.: Golds bleirc
thereby reversing the pnevious
American position that the Mid-
East military forces were in bal-
ance.
State Department officials would
neither confirm nor•deny the Time
report.
The magazine article stated that
40 planes over a year's time was
mentioned as a schedule, but that
actual negotiations would await
the return to Washington of Is
