NEW YORK (JTA) —
American Jewish leaders re-
acted with alarm over the
Nixon administration's deci-
sion to supply Egypt with
nuclear reactors and fuel for
peaceful purposes.
Statements issued here and
in Washington cited the ex-
ample of India which received
nuclear material for peace-
ful purposes and went ahead
to manufacture an atomic
bomb..
The Conference of Presi-
dents of Major American
Jewish Organizations charged
that the "American atomic
't. e-away to Egypt" was a
of "too much- too soon."
aifa Technion scientists
joined Israeli political figures
in expressing their fears
that the American decision
to supply Egypt with nuclear
potentialities would endanger
the area and put it into a
nuclear race.
Former Defense Minister
Moshe Dayan, just returned
from a visit to the U.S., re-
peated his warning that if
Egypt is able to exploit the
nuclear cooperation agree-
ment for non-peaceful pur-
poses in the future, then Mr.
Nixon's visit will go dawn
as "a fatal and historic mis-
take."
In Haifa, Prof. Joseph Rom
4/0.
of the Technion aeronautic
department, said that the
U.S.-Egyptian agreement on
nuclear cooperation will sub-
stantially advance Egypt's
ability to reach an atomic
option.
Any attempt to present the
agreement in its peaceful in-
dustrial aspect and to evade
the strategic aspects of this
agreement would be a grave
mistake, he said, recalling
that the Russians have sup-
plied the Egyptians with the
300 kilometer ranged "Skud"
missiles adaptable to carry
a nuclear war head. Now the
Americans are granting the
Egyptians that knowhow that
would enhance their techno-
logical ability and scientific
capabilities to reach a nuc-
lear option.
The agreement announced
by President Nixon would
greatly close the scientific
and technologic gap between
Israel and the Egyptians in-
the field of nuclear science,
Rom said.
Another senior scientist
said that a similar agree-
ment with Israel may be of
demonstrative value only as
Israel has already the knowl-
edge in this field. He warned
that "small scale" nuclear
weapons may even reach the
hands of terrorist groups.
