Bonds Starts Cash Campaign
David B. Holtzman, gen-
eral chairman of Metropoli-
tan Detroit State of Israel
Bonds, has called for a spe-
cial cash mobilization drive
to help provide funds ur-
gently needed by the gov-
ernment of Israel.
"Headlines feature the
tough political problems
facing Israel today, but be-
hind the headlines are eco-
nomic difficulties which
are just as critical. We call
upon all friends of Israel to
mobilize the maximum cash
possible, from unpaid sub-
scriptions and new sales, to
tangibly demonstrate our
community's support dur-
ing a time of great economic
stress for Israel," said
Holtzman.
Nationally, the Israel
Bond Organization, Israel's
major arm for securing loan
dollars for economic de-
velopment, has a 1980 goal
of $525 million. This figure
surpasses the Yom Kippur
War record sale of $515 mil-
lion. Detroit's Bond leader-
ship has pledged $13 mil-
lion.
Holtzman cited several
reasons for the unprece-
dented campaign goal:
• To help Israel over-
come high inflation and
stabilize her economy.
• To help Israel redeploy
from the Sinai to the. Negev.
