nents was much narrower.
Only 21 votes were cast
Tuesday in favor of a
counter-proposal which
would have maintained a
statute of limitations for
murderers not convicted of
genocide and racial killings.
Most of the socialist
duputies voted in favor of
continued prosecution.
They were joined by a
relatively large number
of Christian Democrats.
There was an exceptional
interest in the ' Bundestag
debate throughout West
Germany: radio and televi-
sion stations interrupted
their normal programs to
beam the news. Hundreds of
people crowded the impor-
tant visitors and the public
and press galleries during
the debate and ensuing
votes, including many
former camp inmates. Some
interviewed over West
German radio said, "We
have come to be vindicated
and to see that justice
triumphs."
Helmut
Chancellor
Schmidt said over West
German radio that he was
"highly pleased" with the
vote. "It was necessary for
justice and good order. It

In 1965, and again in
1969, the Statute of Limita-
tions was extended after
world-wide debate, but not
abolished.
During Tuesday eve-
ning's debate, several

Egypt to Build
Israeli Plane?
WASHINGTON — Israel
Aircraft Industries has pro-
posed that Egypt assemble
its Arava twin-turboprop
transport as part of a plan to
improve North African
aviation and trade de-
velopment through a joint
Israeli-Egyptian effort.
Aviation Week and Space

the proposal was outlined to
a U.S. Senate fact-finding
group in the Middle East re-
cently.
Immigration
TEL AVIV (ZINS) —
Some 56,000 immigrants
entered Israel in 1972,
55,000 in 1973, 21,000 in
1977 and 26,000 in 1978.

Kissinger said he was
amazed at the changes that
have taken place in the area
since his famous shuttle
trips which led to the dis-
engagement agreement of
1975. "Even more impor-
tant than the terms of what
has been achieved is this
growing confidence that has
developed between at least
one Arab nation and the
state of Israel."
Kissinger said the startl-
ing fact that the Egypt-
Israel peace process should
have occurred is "testimony
_to a great Arab leader who
willingly overcame the pre-
conceptions of a generation,
but, also, and in a deeper
sense, to the courage of a
great people which had to
make perhaps even more
complicated choices. .
History will pay tribute
to a people who for 4,000
years had little reason to
trust its neighbors but
which was ready to ex-
change its tangible secu-
rity for intangible bene-
fits of peace; was ready to
trade physical pos-
sessions for hope."
However, Kissinger is-
sued a warning that peace
must be well-founded. "No
people knows better than
the Jews that peace must be
related to justice. Peace in
itself becomes the
blackmail of the powerful
and the tool of the ruthless.
Worthwhile peace depends
on limits, and readiness to
accept the legitimacy of the
other party." He explained

that that was the reason he
had never believed that a
group that depended on ter-
ror could be a partner to
negotiations.
Kissinger met with Begin
Monday morning. He also
called upon Foreign Minis-
ter Moshe Dayan at Tel
Hashomer Hospital near
Tel Aviv, and discussed
with him recent Mideast
developments.
