lations, but that the chill
which set in after' the col-
lapse of the interim talks
conducted by Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger
last month is still felt.
Allon's week-long tour,
criss-crossing the U.S. on
behalf of the United Jewish
Appeal, wound up with a
three-hour meeting with
Kissinger in Washington.
Allon described the meeting
as the beginning of a re-
newed dialogue which
would be continued between
the U.S. and-Isarel. He said
that in retrospect he did not
regret the visit, though he
admitted to doubts before
embarking on-it.
Sources close to the for-
eign minister said they
"hoped that the improve-
ment in relations would be -
,reflected not just in atmos-
pherics" — meaning that
they anticipated move-
ment in the suspended ne-
gotiations with Washing-
ton over new arms
contracts.
But Allon put the specula-
tion to rest when he said
that while the flow of mili-
tary hardware_ already con-
tracted for was continuing
at the agreed pace, no con-
tracts have been signed yet
on "certain elements that
were promised."
He seemed to be referring
to negotiations for Israel's
purchase of the new F-15 jet
fighters and the "Lance"
ground-to-ground missle.
The negotiations were sus-
pended during the Ford
Administration's current
reassessment of Anierican
Mideast policy.
Allon told reporters on
his arrival that. he and Kis-
singer had agreed not to di-
vulge the details of their
talk. He acknowledged that
they could not avoid discus-
sion — including some dis-
cussion that was "not easy"
— over the failure of last.
month's Israeli-Egyptian
negotiations.
But Allon said the bur-
den of his. meeting with
Kissinger was an exami-
nation of future options.
He said he had expressed,
Israel's desire to keep up
the diplomatic momentum
and the view that there
was still room for a settle-
ment with Egypt. "All the
options are open," Allen
declared.-
Referring to his meetings
with American Jewish lead-
ers in five regional meetings
- of the UJA.and at his brief-
ing of the Conference of
Presidents of Major Ameri-
can Jewish Organizations,
Allon said the experience
was deeply moving.
He described his encoun-
ters with American Jewry
as "both moving and encour-
aging" and said he had been
able to explain–in detail to
the -Jewish leadership
groups Israel's position in
the recent negotiations with
Egypt for an interim Sinai
accord. He said he found
"total identity with Israel"
among American Jews.
Paul Zuckerman of De-
troit, president of the UJA,
accompanied Allon, Moshe
Rivlin, director general of
the Jewish Agency; Frank
R. Lautenberg, UJA general
chairman, and other na-
tional officers of the UJA on
the cross-country tour.
The five-city tour
opened a UJA emergency
drive to collect $100 mil-
lion in cash by the end of
May, to complete the regu-
lar 1975 campaign, and to
resolicit all major gifts,
At each meeting, Allon
praised the leaders present,
telling them that "on behalf
of the people of Israel, I
would like to thank Ameri-
can Jewish leadership
responding so quickly to the
Major goals of the UJA
campaign by accelerating
your efforts for human
needs in Israel."
Zuckerman, who was the
ninth general chairman of
the UJA also is chairman of
the international -fundrais-
ing committee of the Jewish
Agency.
