The move took Israeli of- ficials by surprise and was viewed by them as a serious setback to the process of normalizing relations be- tween the two countries. A Foreign Ministry spokes- man said that the Israeli Embassy in Cairo was seek- ing an explanation. Israel was not officially notified of the ban. The Egyptian agent commis- • sioned by the Israel Book Publishers Association to set up the Israeli exhibit was informed by the fair's `organizers that the exhibit would not be welcome. The agent conveyed that infor- mation to the Israeli Em- bassy. Israeli diplomats in Cairo are trying to persuade the authorities to rescind the ban. The book fair was to be the first international event in Egypt in which Israel would take part. The Israel Export Insti- tute has already spent considerable sums plan- ning the exhibit. Although no official rea- son for the ban was forth- coming from Cairo, it is be- lieved here that the Egyp- tians feared repercussions" from elements opposed to any speed-up of normaliza- tion with Israel. Fear for the safety of the Israelis man- ning the book display was also expressed. 's Award to Javits WASHINGTON Jewish leaders from around the world will honor U.S. Sen. Jacob K.
