Federal Reserve Board Helps
End Arab Role in U.S. Trade
NEW YORK The Fed-
eral Reserve Board's warn-
ing to U.S. commercial
banks that their distribu-
tion of letters of credit con-
taining boycott provisions
"may constitute a direct
violation of federal anti-
trust laws or of applicable
state anti-boycott laws" was
the third major govern-
ment 'step in less than a
month to end Arab intrus-
tion in American commerce.
The Federal Reserve
Board's warning, came in a
statement directed to its
approximately 5,800 com-
mercial bank members
which urged compliance
with "both the letter and
spirit" of President Ford's
Israeli Liberals
Stage Confab
TEL AVIV — (ZINS) —
President Ephraim Katzir,
Premier Itzhak Rabin and
13 ministers participated
late in November in the
opening of the National
Convention of the Liberal
Party.
Political observers con-
sider this significant and a
hint by the Labor Party to
the Liberal Party that the
door is open for them to join
the government on condition
that the Liberals abandon
the Likud opposition.
The presentations by the
Liberal leaders Dr. E. Ri-
malt Arie Dulzin and Sim-
cha Erlich contained refer-
ence to differences of
opinion in the ranks of the
Liberals and Herut on for-
eign policy. In connection
with the resignation of Dr.
Rimalt from the Party's
chairmanship, the conven-
tion elected Erlich as chair-
man of the Executive Com-
mittee.
anti boycott measures.

The board said that
"participation of a U.S.
bank, even passively, in ef-
forts by foreign nationals to
effect boycotts against
other foreign countries
friendly to the United
States, particularly where
such boycott efforts may
cause discrimination
against United States citi-
zens and businesses, is a
misuse of the privileges and
benefits "conferred upon
banking institutions."
It cited as a "specific
abuse" the distribution by
the banks of the boycott-
tainted letters of credit
along with the require-
ment that American ex-
porters comply with the
boycott provisions in order
to receive payment.
The ADL hailed the
board's new statement of
policy and urged that simi-
lar action be taken by state
chartered banks.

Peres Hopeful Arms Shipment From U.S. Will Be Speeded Up
TEL AVIV (JTA) — De-
fense Minister Shimon
Peres has returned from the
U.S. confident that the de-
livery of arms to Israel will
be speeded up and that a re-
lationship based on mutual
confidence has been estab-
lished with the Pentagon.
Peres told newsmen he
was particularly impressed
with America's new De-
fense Secretary, Donald
Rumsfeld who, despite his
short time in office, revealed
a broad and deep knowledge
of Israel's security situation
and defense needs.
Peres's mission to the
U.S. was to try to break the
logjam that has been hold-
ing up the delivery of cer-
tain weapons already con-
tracted for by Israel and to
appraise the Ford Adminis-
tration of Israel's future
military needs.
The Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee's sub-
committee on assistance
approved the administra-
tion's $4.7 billion foreign
aid bill which includes
nearly $3 billion in mili-
tary grants and credits for
Israel.
While in the U.S., Peres
told newsmen that Israel
was not receiving "100 per-
cent" of the arms promised
it, but declined to say
whether the delay was due
to bureaucratic red tape or a
political decision by the ad-
ministration. On his return
to Israel, however, he indi-
cated that the arms acquisi-
tion process will be short-
ened and the supply of
essential combat items
would be expedited.
Peres said he warned the
U.S. officials of the danger-
ous situation in Lebanon
which, he said, should be
considered by those who
advocate Israeli negotia-
tions with the Palestine Lib-
eration Organization. He
said they also spoke of wid-
ening rift in the Middle East
between the southern coali-
tion of Egypt, Iran and
Saudi Arabia and the north-
ern coalition of Syria, Iraq
and Jordan.
Peres said the supply of
U.S. "Hawkeye" radar
planes and F-15 fighers to
Israel was discussed and
disclosed that the possibil-
ity also arose of shipping
the components of the new
F-16'fighter to Isael for
assembly there. That air-
craft will not be available
before 1980. Peres said as-
sembly in Israel was not in-
tended to compete with
American industry but to
shorten time and save lives
thereby.
blocki (D-Wis.) has asked
the Congress to block the
sale to Israel of F-15
fighter planes for delivery
in 1977 because such U.S.
support Tor Israel begins
"to equate Israel's preser-
vation exclusively and
solely in military terms."

mittee member.

Israel Imports to Be Duty Free
NEW YORK — "The dec-
laration by tVU.S. Presi-
dent, making Israel a bene-
ficiary country under the
Generalized System of Pre-
ferences (GSP), should
boost the volume of U.S.-
Israel trade," according to
Israeli Trade Commissioner
Yeheskel Kassif, comment-
ing on the Presidential an-
nouncement concerning the
implementation of the GSP.
According to the Execu-
tive Order, effective Jan. 1,
no duties will be levied on
imports from 'Israel on
many products of great in-
terest to the American in-
dustrial community and
importers, as well as to the
consumer public.
Israeli items which are
expected to generate most
interest by being duty-free,
include chemicals, metals,
electronic equipment, agri-
cultural and industrial
machinery, as well as popu-
lar consumer items such as
gourmet foods, leather
goods and leather fashion,
now flying the MIG-24, "is
subject to serious doubt
since it has never been con-
clusively proven."
