Elran said that Israel
now presents a unique in-
vestment opportunity be-
cause of its associate
member status in the
European • Economic
Community and the no-
tariff status of many Is-
raeli products exported to
the United States.
"You. thus have duty-
free access to two of the
world's major markets,"
Elran told the audience.
Elran added that Israel
would provide most of the
investment capital and
up to 27 percent rebate on
export sales in order to
gain U.S. technology and
know-how in marketing
and managerial, skills.
"This generous pac-
kage is designed to over-
come our balance of pay-
ments deficit," he ex-
plained.
Ratner said that _Israel,
exports only $400 million
to the U.S., while the U.S.
exports to Israel (exclud-
ing military sales) are
nearing $1 billion. He
said that intensification of
business with Israel is
simple and profitable for
all concerned.
"This is sound business
enterprise," Ratner said,
"not just something for
people of Zionist or
Jewish background." He
gave examples of large
U.S. firms' involvement
in Israeli industry and
cited his own investment,
and the industry's
