Israel Producing
Training Version of
U.S. Hawk Missile
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israel
is producing a training ver-
sion of the American Hawk
ground-to-air missile.
According to a report in
the newspaper Yediot Ahron-
ot, the missile is produced in
sufficient quantities to meet
Israel's training needs and
saves the large amounts of
money that would have to be
spent if regular Hawks, cost-
ing several hundred thousand
dollars apiece, had to be fired
in training.
The report said the train-
ing version of the missile
does not contain the sophis-
ticated gear of the regular
Hawk and is much cheaper to
produce.

TEL AVIV (JTA)—Israeli
authorities are reported to
be giving favorable consid-
eration to a proposal to es-
tablish a foreign flag ferry
service between Eilat and
the neighboring Jordanian
port of Aqaba.
Sources close to the min-
istry Of tourism disclosed
that the proposal was made
by a foreign airline. Israeli
authorities have no objection
to the plan, the sources noted,
but say its realization is up
to Jordanian authorities.
The Israelis regard the pro-
posed ferry service as mere-
ly an addition to the open
bridges policy between Jor-
dan and Israel.
Two of the countries are
already ophthalmologically
independent, and have the
necessary clinics, doctors,
