Board Adopts Religion Policy
The Farmington Board of
Education on Tuesday
unanimously adopted policy
and procedures on "Schools
and Religion."
The action follows com-
plaints last fall that repre-
sentatives of Campus Life, a
Christian youth group,
were soliciting students at
North Farmington High
School and that some fa-
culty openly supported the
organization.
The new board policy rec-
ognizes the Constitutional
principles of freedom of
religion and separation of
church and state, saying
that "school districts must
be wholly neutral in dealing
with religious beliefs."
The policy portion says
that the schools may
teach about religion, but
must not support nor in-
hibit religion.
The procedures section
states that the schools, staff
and students should not be
subjected to promotional ac-
tivities of any religious or
anti-religious nature dur-
ing school activities and
that school personnel and
volunteers can not use their
positions for such activities.
The procedures prohibit
"ceremonies, prayer, or

JEWISH ASSESSMENT: Evaluation of the political,
military and free trade accords presently beiiig negotiated
in detail between the United States and Israel, as a result of
the recent talks in Washington between President Reagan
and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, has just been
completed by the National Jewish Community Relations
Advisory Council (NJCRAC).
A separate assessment was also made by NJCRAC of
the negotiations between the U.S. and Israel on energy
cooperation between the two countries. The negotiations,
conducted between U.S. Secretary of Energy Donald Paul
Hodel and Israel's Minister of Energy Yitzhak Modai, re-
sulted in a joint statement by both governments after Hodel
visited a number of energy projects in Israel. The statement
provides for exchange of technical information on energy
projects, for visits and exchanges of professionals, for coop-
eration on solar projects, and for the establishment of a
special fund for the enhancement of basic research on fu-
ture energy projects.
A working team composed of three representatives
from each country is to submit by April 30 a detailed opera-
tional program to Hodel and Modai for their approval. The
program will be aimed at commencing operations no later
than Sept. 30.
MAJOR STEPS: It is the judgment of NJCRAC that
American Jews can consider the achievements reached at
the summit talks between Reagan and Shamir — as well as
the decision on energy cooperation — as major steps for-
ward in acknowledging strengthening the strategic, politi-
cal and economic relations between the U.S. and Israel.
The scope and contents of strategic cooperation in the
areas of joint military exercises, joint military planning,
and of pre-positioning of U.S. military-related equipment
in Israel will not be publicly disclosed. Three commissions
— each dealing with one of three areas — have been estab-
lished to proceed with enhancing strategic cooperation be-
tween the two countries. They will work under an overall
Political-military committee which will meet twice a year,
or at the request of either of the two countries.
By virtue of its location and existing facilities, Israel is
equipped to provide the U.S. with aircraft maintenance,
parts depots and supplies, as well as help serve the needs of
the Sixth Fleet in Haifa.
It is anticipated that there will be bureaucratic in-
fighting between the Defense Department elements, which
seek to minimize the areas of agreement with Israel, and
the State Department elements, which week a broader and
more substantive cooperation. This may complicate
negotiations for Israel. Leading American Jewish organ-
izations intend to indicate to President Reagan their hope
and expectation that the U.S. will be forthcoming in the
spirit of his meeting with Shamir.
THE FREE TRADE TALKS: American Jewish
organizations will watch very closely the negotiations with
Israel toward the creation of a Free Trade Area (FTA)
between the two countries. The decision reached in the
negotiations will have to be submitted to Congress where
there may be resistance to the lowering of trade tariffs,
even among friends of Israel. Should this be the case, the
interest of American Jewish groups will become a commu-
nity priority.
The creation of an FTA between Israel and the U.S. is
not an exclusive act of "favoritism" to Israel. It is part of a
worldwide trade strategy by the United States. In fact,
Washington has offered to negotiate a FTA arrangement
also with Saudi Arabia. The U.S. will seek reciprocal
rights for its exports to Israel.
About 90 percent of Israel's exports to the U.S. are
already duty-free under a generalized system of prefer-
ences by industrial countries which open some markets for
developing countries. However, Israel is now developing
sophisticated industries, the products of which are not
duty-free in the U.S. They include medical equipment, elec-
tronics, mini-computers, robotic and other industries of
high technology. Last year, Israel sold to the U.S. $1.17
billion of goods which included diamonds, electronic
equipment, machinery, processed food and high-fashion
apparel.
