Group Looks at Airport Security

‘_.

MONTREAL (JTA) -- Dr.
Theodor Meron, Israel's
ambassador to Canada, said
Tuesday that the general
council of the International
Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) has agreed to in-
clude some Israeli proposals
for -air security measures in
a letter being sent to all
ICAO member states on air
safety.
The proposals were made
in the wake of attacks
against El Al planes at Orly
Airport in Paris and other
acts of air terror. The ICAO
council did not act on Israeli
proposals to assure the
prosecution of offenders.
The ICAO urged member
states to review the "effec-
tiveness of existing security

measures, particularly in
relation to any new mani-
festation of the threat to
civil aviation."
It called upon authori-
ties responsible for avia-
tion security to "exercise
necessary vigilance in or-
der to prevent acts of un-
lawful interference with
civil aviation."
The council alsb re-
quested its committee on
unlawful interference to
examine and report on num-
ber of other Israeli propos-
als.

to all.

To promise and give nothing
is a comfort to a fool.

He is a fool that thinks not
that another thinks.
