When Rabbi Goren re-
turned to Israel last week
from an extensive visit to the
United States, he said that
it was important that the
government have the broader
base which the NRP could
provide but he added that
the Chief Rabbinate Council
is the only body to decide
on acceptance of the Goren
formula.
Rabbi Goren added, how-
ever, that even if that issue
was resolved, there was
another problem which was
equally important for Ortho-
dox Jews and the NRP and
that was the question of
Judea and Samaria in the
West Bank.
The NRP wants agreement
on a referendum to be held
on any proposal on the fu-
ture of the administered ter-
ritories in future peace talks.

He said the air defenses
now have the "Chaparral"
ground-to-air missile manu-
factured by the Philco Corp.
He described it as a self-
contained unit consisting of
four missiles mounted on an
amphibian carrier with addi-
tional missiles in a storage
space. Each unit costs $228,-
000.
Peled also said the Rus-
sians have supplied Syria
with their newest and most
sophisticated war plane, the
MIG-23 and that Syrian pilots
have already been trained to
fly them. Israel has no air-
craft to match the MIG-23,
reputedly the world's fastest
and highest flying combat
aircraft.
According to Peled, Israeli
pilots in their planes are still
superior to Syrian pilots in
MIG-23s. He admitted, never-
theless, that the gap in Is-
rael's air superiority has
been dangerously narrowed.
The American answer to
the MIG-23 is the F-14 and
F-15, a multi-purpose fighter
that Israel is interested in
purchasing, Peled said.
He said, however, that Is-
rael is also considering the
new American OF-16 and
OF-17 which he described as
interceptors of great maneu-
verability that are less ex-
pensive than the F-14 and
F-15 He said Israel's ulti-
mate decision would be based
on its military and economic
needs.
