Group Tours Seen as Top Need
in Israel-Diaspora Cooperation
Group tours to Israel . by
congregations, professional
and community groups is
viewed as vital to Israel's
economy and in advancing
the cooperative and friendly
relations between Israelis
and world Jewry.
Rafi Baeri, deputy direc-
tor of the Government of Is-
rael Tourist Bureau for the
Midwestern states, with of-
fices in Chicago, here to
mobilize increased interest
in tourism to Israel, expres-
sed tourist leaders' hopes
that there will be an in-
crease in group movements
planning for visits in Israel.
Stating that tourism to
Israel continually in-
creases, Baeri said that
the 1977 figure of
1,006,000 rose to 1,180,000
in 1978.
"Tourism has become Is-
rael's first and, therefore,
its most vital industry,"
Beari said.
In 1978, 137 interna-
tional conventions and con-
gresses were held in Israel,
attracting nearly 40,000
overseas delegates, a 35
percent' increase over the
1977 congress and conven-
tion record.
Among the congresses
held in 1978 were: the 21st
biennial congress of the In-
ternational College of Sur-
geons, the 19th world con-
gress of the World Federa-
tion of Diamond Bourses
and the 19th international
New Israel Bond
Issue Introduced
JERUSALEM — A new
$1 billion Israel Bond issue,
aimed at what American
and Canadian Jewish com-
munity leaders hope will be
the beginning of Israel's era
of peace, was given first
reading in Israel's Knesset
last week during the 1979
Prime Minister's Israel
Bond Conference. With 300
leaders from 51 U.S. and
Canadian Jewish com-
munities seated in the vis-
itor's gallery, Israel's Fi-
nance Minister Simha Er-
lich told the Knesset, "State •
of Israel Bonds is one of the
central instruments for
translating solidarity with
Israel into daily actions."
Erlich pointed out that
the need for Bonds will in-
crease when peace with
Egypt iS achieved because of
the large-scale development
efforts which will be re-
quired in the Negev.
Military Spending
JERUSALEM (ZINS) —
The defense portion of Is s -
rael's proposed 1979-80 na-

Simha Ehrlich is calling for
a military budget of IL 34.5
billion ($1.8 billion) and an
arms purchasirtg budget of
IL 29 billion ($1.5 billion).
Meanwhile, Egypt is ex-
pected to exceed her annual
budget for military spend-
ing of one billion Egyptian
pounds:
conference on social wel-
fare.

tional conference on
medical physics, the in-
ternational conference of
Brethren in Christ and
the international con-
gress of the World Feder-
ation of Hemophilia.
Israel also will host a

tions and events in 1979;
