Government, Jewish Agency
Settle Project Renewal Dispute
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The government and the
Jewish Agency have agreed
that a joint committee
should be formed to work
out the means for imple-
menting Project Renewal,
the long-range plan- for re-
habilitating 160 slum areas
around the country.
The Cabinet formally ap-
proved this agreement Spn-
day by ratifying the policy
document on Project Re-
newal drawn up by Deputy
Premier Yigael Yadin and
Jerold Hoffberger, chair-
man of the United Israel
Appeal, the organization
which appropriates funds
received from the United
Jewish Appeal for specific
programs in Israel.
Officials now hope that
the organizational difficul-
ties holding up Project Re-
newal will be ironed out and
that projects can now start
on the first slum areas
'slated for improvement.
The difficulties had
arisen over a demand by
Absorption Minister
David Levy, who was re-
cently given the added
portfolio of the Housing
and Construction Minis-
try, that the Housing
Ministry handle the en-
tire Project Renewal and
that the Jewish Agency
and the fund-raising or-
ganizations abroad con-
fine themselves to gather-
ing half of the money
needed for Project Re-
newal.
But the UJA and the
Jewish Agency had insisted
that the Agency participate
in the implementation of
the program, including the
use of foreign Jewish ex-
perts. Yadin, in outlining
the project to Diaspora
Jews, had stressed that he
wanted their knowledge
and participation, not just
money.
The Cabinet decision fol-
lowed a meeting Friday be-
tween the government, the
Jewish Agency and UJA
representatives at Premier
Menahem Begin's office, at
Yadin-
the
which
Hoffberger document was
approved.
According to reports last
Friday, it was agreed that
the Housing Ministry would
be confined to building new
homes in the rehabilitated
areas while the Agency
would build such commun-
ity institutions as schools
and synagogues as well
supply the social work
needed to help the 45,
families living in the areas
slated for renewal.
Irving Bernstein, execu-
tive vice chairman of the
United Jewish Appeal, said
after the Cabinet decision
that he was now more confi-
dent of the success of Project
Renewal. Max Fisher,
chairman of the Jewish
Agency Board of Governors,
issued a statement lauding
the decision.
It is with life as with a
play - it matters not how
long the action is spun out,
but how good the acting is.
