WASHINGTON — The
United States section of the
American-Israeli Business
Council has met for the first
time in Washington to dis-
cuss ways of promoting
business ties between the
United States and Israel.
The council, chaired by
former Michigan Governor
George Romney and Israeli
industrialist Mark Moscev-
ics, was organized over the
,
past two years, although
there has not yet been a full
plenary session.
Treasury Secretary Wil-
liam Simon opened the U.S.
section's meeting. Israel
Ambassador Simcha Dinitz,
other Israeli and American
officials, and nearly 20 U.S.
businessmen who sit on the
council participated.
Most of the U.S. mem-
bers of the council are
American Jewish busi-
nessmen, long time sup-
porters of Israel. There
are only a handful of non-
Jewish members.
Observers pointed out
that the presidents of Gen-
eral Motors, Ford, and other
corporate giants sit on the
Egyptian Council.
The first plenary session
of the council is scheduled to
take place in Israel in June.
