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."
