British French Roles Emerge in U.S.-Israel Relations

the UN General Assembly
meets in New York. A
hiatus of two months after
the Israeli election is also
considered probable on the
reasoning that any Israeli
government will need time
to assess its election man-
date.
Lord Carrington is de-
scribed by American
sources as being the most
N7 pro-Arab of all European
Foreign Ministers, includ-
ing Poncet. He was reported
as insisting that only a solu-
tion of the Palestinian prob-

anent with the West by
the Arab states against
Soviet influence in the Mid-
dle East.
He was reported as saying
that while PLO tactics have
been nasty, it is a political
reality and that, in any
event, leaders in Africa like
Zimbabwe's Prime Minister
Mugabe were terrorists but
now they are in power and
negotiations for the crea-
tion of several African
states could not have taken
place if terrorists had not
been invited to participate.

legitimatizing terrorists

example of a terrorist

U.S. Approves $2.2 Billion
in Assistance to Israel

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Reagan Administra-
tion proposed that the U.S.
provide $2.185 billion in as-
sistance to Israel in the new
fiscal year starting next
Oct. 1, but appeared to rule
out forgiveness of any part
of Israel's $17.4 billion of
indebtedness to the U.S.
The levels of the proposed
aid for the coming fiscal
year are the same as that
being provided this year,
$1.4 billion in military as-
sistance and $785 million in
economic aid. The current
$1.4 billion was increased to
that level by Congress last
year when it added $200
million to the Carter Ad-
ministration's proposal.
Two-thirds of the $785
million in economic aid will
be a grant. The remaining
one-third will be at interest
of two percent for 10 years
and three percent for the
next 20 years when the
loans mature.
Of the military aid, $900
million will be a 10-year
loan, followed by a 20-year
period of repayment of the
principal at interest equal
to the cost of funds to the
U.S. Treasury at the time of
disbursement. At present,
the Treasury borrows
money at approximately 15
percent.
"We are proposing for-
giveness of Israel's princi-
pal and interest obligations
for the remaining $500 mil-
lion," according to Joseph
Wheeler, Deputy Adminis-
trator of the Agency for In-
ternational Development
(AID), who was one of the
Reagan Administration's
top officials testifying on aid
to Israel before the Sub-
committee on Europe and
the Middle East of the
House Foreign Affairs
Committee.

State Department official as

Israeli policy, but not on the

Besides these sums,
Wheeler observed, Israel
will get about $600 million
from the special deployment
assistance package ap-
proved three years ago with
relation to Israel's with-
drawal from Sinai. There-
fore, in the new fiscal year,
Israel will get the amount of
$2.8 billion. But Israel will
return principal and inter-
est of approximately $700
million to the U.S. so the net
aid will be about $2.1 bil-
lion.
Wheeler told Rep. Mili-
cent Fenwick (R-N.J.) that
all of the military aid will be
spent in the U.S. and that
Israel's civilian imports
from the U.S. are about $1.5
billion a year which is well
above the economic aid.
Wheeler replied "no" to
Rep. Dean Hamilton (D-
Ind.), the subcommittee
chairman, when asked if the
Reagan Administration
was giving "any considera-
tion" to a cancellation of Is-
rael's outstanding loans and
if the U.S. is giving "any
help" on Israel's exports.
Israel has been seeking
co-production opportunities
on U.S. military equipment
and other manufactures to
improve its exports and cut
its defense costs. Wheeler's
prepared statement said
that in Israel's budget, 60
percent goes for defense and
public debt servicing.
Israel owes $7 billion to
the U.S. government and .
more than $10 billion to
commercial banks and
other non-governmental
sources, Wheeler said.

Institute Backs
Palestine State

WASHINGTON (ZINS)
— The Hoover Institute, a
think-tank, has concluded a
Middle East study which
advocates solving the
Arab-Israel conflict by
pressuring Israel to accept a
Palestinian state.
The Washington corre-
spondent for the Israeli
newspaper Haaretz says
U.S. President Ronald Re-
agan relied heavily on the
Hoover Institute when he
was governor of California.

Knesset Seeks Yerida Action

sionals and army veterans
among these yordim than in
past years. They outnumber
foreign-born immigrants
who left the country out of
frustration, the committee
said.
According to the Knes-
set body, the main cause of
yerida was lack of national
and Zionist identification
and lack of appreciation of
such basic values as home,
country, language and cul-
ture. But the committee ac-
knowledged that social is-
sues were also responsible
when it recommended that
the state ensure adequate
housing and employment
for veterans similar to the
benefits accorded new im-
migrants.

It also recommended that
the government concen-
trate on efforts to prevent
yerida and action among
yordim to encourage them
to return. It expressed con-
cern over what it saw as a
lack of coordination among
the various bodies dealing
with the matter and
suggested that the Prime
Minister's Office coordinate
these efforts.
