New York Congressman
sees threat to Israeli export
New York (JTA) — An Is-
rael basically strong and
economically vital, but
needing quick action from
its friends and supporters in
the United States to help
with its potential "Achilles
heel' — export trade — was
described here last week by
a New York Congressman
just back from Israel.
Rep. Bill Green, a Repub-
lican, hailed Israeli efforts,
especially in high-tech, to
increase the country's ex-
ports, but warned of a
little-recognized danger to
that export drive: U.S. legis-
lation which has long
allowed most Israeli exports
to enter this country duty-
free is about to expire. Only
quick action before Con-
gress' scheduled adjourn-
ment Oct. 4 will be able to
save the legislation, Green
said.
The lawmaker, who went
to Israel with colleagues of
the House Trade Subcom-
mittee, said he found little
awareness of what the
cutoff in the favoring trade
law would mean even
among Israelis. Called the
Generalized System of Pref-
erence (GSP), it applies to
less developed countries (Is-
rael was classified as one)
and gives their exports
preferential treatment in
U.S. markets. The GSP
legislation expires De-
cember 31.
Green said that Trade
Subcommittee members
told him that renewal of the
GSP legislation is being
blocked by adamant opposi-
tion from the AFL-CIO.
"Even if GSP is renewed, it
will almost certainly elimi-
nate coverage of countries
with relatively high per
capita incomes, like South
Korea and Taiwan, and
therefore, also Israel, whose
per capita income is higher
than that of Asian countries
at which th AFL-CIO is tak-
ing aim," Green said.
He urged that friends of
Israel in the United States
urge Senators and Repre-
sentatives to extend the
GSP and that any phase-out
of higher per capita coun-
tries match the phase-in of
the U.S.-Israel free trade
area. He noted that the
United States has a favora-
ble balance of trade with Is-
rael, so it is in the U.S.
interest to continue good
trade relations with its ally.
House Majority leader calls
for increased aid to Israel
New York (JTA) — House
Majority leader Jim Wright
(D-Tex.) said here that the
pending foreign aid package
for Israel is not simply a
Jewish concern, but rather
is part of an overall Ameri-
can foreign policy which
seeks "to Support democracy
where it is supported."
At a meeting with Jewish
communal leaders spon-
sored by the Jewish Com-
munity Relations Council of
New York last week,
Wright asserted his con-
tinuing strong commitment
to aiding. Israel eco-
nomically, and militarily.
Ile foreign aid package for
Israel in fiacal year 1985-is
.
$2.6 billion.
The Texas Congressman
said the United States rela-
tionship with Israel has im-
proved during the iaast,few
years, but it is "not as good
as it needs to be, not as good
as we would want it to be
and as it must be."
Recalling the 1973
Arab-oil embargo, Wright
noted that energy suffi-
ciency is "an inseparable
part of our commitment to
uphold our responsibilities
in the world." He noted that
many Congressional mem-
bers were elected after the
embargo . and do not re-
member how seriously it af-
fected the United States.
