THE DETROITIOEWISHNEWS- Friday,. August 31,1984 19 EAR PIERCING FREE 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. lias e Of piercing e aitrh ring w p u src.
