He told the Arab London-based magazine "Events" that "such laws will not harm ARAMCO or Saudi Arabia as much as they will harm the Un- ited States and its economy." Companies operating in the Middle East, Jungers continued in his inter- view with the magazine, "will shift their opera- tions from the U.S. to Western Europe or elsewhere." As an American citizen, he stated, "I must con- demn any laws that are op- posed to American in- terests. The oil company chief complained that Aniericans are' being forced into becoming part of the Arab-Israeli dis- pute. He charged that "Zionist elements are projecting the Arab boycott as a racialist act aimed against the Jewish people. That is not true.

Meanwhile, pollster Louis Harris reported that a 71-6 majority of Americans disapprove of the refusal of Arab oil- producing countries to buy products or do busi- ness with U.S. companies that deal with Israel. In the survey of 1,459 adults nationwide, a 44-27 percent plurality favor legislation that would im- pose tax penalties on any U.S. company that co- operated with the Arab boycott. (The last Con- gress passed such a bill, but it did not become law.) And by 42 to 29 percent, Americans favor a tougher law that would impose a fine or imprisonment on any company found guilty of co-operating with the boycott. In a related develop- ment, all commercial rep- resentatives of Canada abroad and all the officers under the control of the Board of Trade across Canada have been in- structed to refuse any as- sistance to any Canadian foreign firm taking part in any form in the Arab boycott of Israel. In New York, the New York City Teachers' Re- tirement Board, with as- sets of nearly $4 billion, has agreed to vote in favor of American Jewish Congress-sponsored re- solutions opposing the Arab boycott at annual meetings of corporations in which it holds stock. The board is the first pension fund to take a public position on the issue in response to a campaign by the AJCon- gress for support by in- stitutional investors of its anti-boycott resolution. The board unanimously adopted a resolution at its Jan. 20 meeting vowing to resist "the effort of Arab- bloc countries to involve AmericanS in their boycott ofIsrael and to import dis- criminatory practices in the U.S." commodation with re- spect to Arab boycott is- sues." At the same time, a strong new federal ban on anti-Jewish discrimina- tion by U.S. firms hiring for overseas work was hailed by the ADL as "an affirmation of the supre- macy of American law on our shores." The U.S. Labor Department action will take effect Feb. 17. government face the loss of federal contracts if they are found to have discriminatory hiring practices for overseas work.

The infuriated Orthodox religious estab- lishment branded it "murder" and vowed to overturn it. Feminists in the Knes- set said, however, that the new law did not go far enough because it still does not give women the right 'to abortion on de- mand. The measure legalizes abortion in the early stages of pregnancy if ap- proved by a committee of three which must consist of two doctors — one a gynecologist — and a so- cial worker. Abortions will be obtainable if the committee determines that birth would injure the physical or emotional health of the mother, that the child would be born with physical or mental handicaps and if the mother is under 16 or over 40. the law be abolished be- cause it has "no moral va- lidity." Sephardic Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef claimed the law "permit- ted murder" and must be cancelled. But MK Marsha Friedman said the law was defective because "doctors are still in charge of a woman's own womb and she cannot de- cide for herself." The situation in Israel with respect to abortion is similar to that in many Western countries where abortion was or still is, il- legal. Termination of pregnancy is available to affluent women but not to the poor. The rate of abortion in Israel until now has been estimated at 40,000-70,000 a year. Doctors who per- formed abortions were rarely, if ever, prosecuted.
