House Passes Aid to Israel Over Weinberger's Protest

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Israeli officials are deeply
gratified over the U.S.
military and economic aid
package for fiscal year 1984
which the House of Rep-
resentatives approved last
Thursday.
It is not only the largest
amount of aid ever voted for
Israel but allows the Is-
raelis to use $550 million in
military credits toward
building their second gen-
eration jet fighter-bomber,
the Lavie, an issue which
had generated controversy
within the Reagan Ad-

ministration and among
American military aircraft
manufacturers.
The Israeli officials feel
the Congressional action
will provide a welcome
backdrop to Premier Yit-
zhak Shamir's visit to
Washington, scheduled for
the end of this month. It will
be Shamir's first personal
contact with the Administ-
ration since he succeeded
Premier Menahem Begin
last month. He is expected
to meet with President Rea-
gan and other top officials to
discuss the •rapidly improv-

Weinberger Denies Opposition
to Stronger U.S.-Israel Ties

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger has denied that
he has opposed efforts by the
Reagan Administration for
strategic cooperation with
Israel. "We have had Israel
as a strong ally and a
strategic working ar-
rangement with them has
been in effect for many
years, almost since the crea-
tion of the state," Wein-
berger said in response to
questions at the Foreign
Press Center last Thursday.
"There is no change what-
soever in that relationship,"
he stressed.
There have been repeated
published reports that
Weinberger has sought to
block Secretary of State
George Shultz's effort for
closer ties with Israel. No
Defense Department offi-
cial accompanied Undersec-
retary of State Lawrence
Eagleburger during his re-
cent visit to Israel.
Weinberger said that
he was puzzled by these
charges. "What puzzles
me is that the policy of
military cooperation
with Israel should be dis-
cussed as a new policy,"
he said. "We have had a
very large amount of

military assistance and
we had military coopera-
tion with Israel since the
formation of Israel."
But the Defense Secret-
ary seemed to be confirming
his opposition within the
Administration when he re-
jected the suggestion that
Israeli Premier Yitzhak
Shamir would be coming to
Washington soon to discuss
strategic cooperation. He
said the upcoming visit was
part of the nomonal rela-
tionship with Israel and no
agenda has been set for the
meeting.

Fonda JNF Forest Started

and the United States, with
emphasis on future
strategic cooperation.

The aid package, which
the House approved by a
224-189 vote, totals $2.61
billion, compared to $2.48
billion in fiscal 1983. The
new allocation contains
$1.7 billion in military
credits and $910 million
in economic grants. Of
the military credits, $850
million is "forgiven" —
meaning it does not have
to be repaid.

and Grumman, which will
provide key components of
the Lavie, have supported
the use of U.S. military cre-
dits to develop the plane.
According to the General
Accounting Office in
Washington, research and
development costs for the
Lavie are expected to exceed
$1.5 billion. In addition to
the aid for Israel, the House
also voted last week to pro-
vide Egypt with $2.1 billion
in assistance of which $1.4
billion is military credits,
including a $465 million
grant and $910 million in
loans.

Economic Crisis Prompts
Budget Cuts at Hebrew U.

JERUSALEM — Israel's
economic crisis has promp-
ted Hebrew University to
cut nearly $8 million from
its budget for the 1983-1984
academic year, according to
university president Don
Patinkin.

Dozens of teachers, re-
searchers, laboratory work-
ers, technicians and ad-
minfstrative workers have
been laid off at the school,
Patinkin reported. A sub-
stantial number of courses
have been cancelled and lib-
rary and laboratory hours
for students are being cut to
meet the new budget limits.
"In the long run, there is a
real danger that the univer-
sity will be unable to fulfill
its function and will not be
able to carry out the job that
society expects of it," Patin-
kin said.

Meanwhile, it. is esti-
mated that in addition to
