Israel must maintain its air superiority, raise the opera- tional capability of its armored units, increase the mobility of its infantry units and improve its intelligence-gathering ap- paratus and early warning systems, Israeli officials have advised Washington. American and Israeli officials have been busily preparing for the Rabin visit, his first to the U.S. capital since becoming Defense Minister. The U.S. Secretary of Defense, Caspar Weinberger, visited Israel last October. At that time, he invited Rabin to Washington. Rabin, who is due to arrive in New York on Jan. 27 before fly- ing to Washington the next morning for three days of meetings, is expected to focus on several major issues, in- cluding the situation in Lebanon, the broader geopolitical picture in the Mid- dle East, Israel's pending arms requests from the United States and American-Israeli strategic cooperation. Beyond that, Israeli officials said, Rabin can be expected to press for additional U.S. assistance in promoting Israeli military exports to the United States and to other countries. Israeli officials, in recent weeks, have insisted that Israel Lan not afford to cut its defense budget. In order to maintain Israel's qualitative edge over any combination of Arab adver- saries, they have said, Israel will need increased U.S. military grants in the 1986 budget, which President Reagan is due to submit to Congress in early February. The 1985 'military grant to Israel totaled $1.4 billion. Israel has requested $2.2 billion in the new budget, but Administration officials have indicated that the final level is likely to be between $1.8-1.9 billion. In a detailed report presented to the Reagan Administration, Israel said that the continuation of U.S. economic and military assistance contributes directly to stability in the Middle East in two significant ways: 1. Israel's awareness of the U.S. commitment to its security allows it to refrain from reacting militarily to situations which' would otherwise be considered "unbearable risks." 2. The Arab states, realizing the U.S. commitment to Israel's security and qualitative edge, "will be deterred from taking ad- vantage of their considerable quantitative and geostrategic edge." Israel has also underlined to Washington the declining pur- chasing power of U.S. military aid. According to official Israeli estimates, the purchasing power . Rabin: to press for more aid. of $1.4 billion of military aid in 1985 is equivalent to about $700 million of 1974 prices. The increase in the prices of weaponry, according to Israeli officials, is primarily due to in- flation and the qualitative im- provement of the major items on Israel's pending procurement list. Israel reminded the Ameri- cans that the total expenditure of the IDF redeployment from Sinai to the Negev came to about $5 billion. At the same time, Israel has officially informed the United States that it will need con- tinued high-levels of U.S. economic and military assistance through the 1988 fiscal year. But in its "White Paper" outlining its immediate request for U.S. aid in the coming 1986 fiscal year, Israel suggested that its yearly needs may be reduced somewhat if the "ex- isting favorable trends in the trade account and the stabiliza- tion of the Israeli currency" —.continue. The 80-page document, sub- mitted to the Reagan Ad- ministration late in December, projected a need of $1.85 billion in economic grants in 1986 "to maintain the level of its reserves and avoid a further increase in its short-term borrowing." Israel also has requested an $800 million emergency sup- plemental grant economic aid package to the already approv- ed 1985 foreign aid bill. The State Department has said that the $800 billion re- quest has been deferred until Israel undertakes a more am- bitious economic recovery pro- gram. The Administration is epected to seek $1.2 billion in economic grants in its 1986 budget — the same level approv- ed in the 1985 legislation. Assuming that the Israeli economic sutuation continues to improve, Israel's economic aid requests in coming years will be reduced from the pending $1.8 billion level. The White Paper's projected level of needed U.S. economic aid in 1987 is $1.335 billion to be followed by a $1.14 billion request in 1988. U.S. and Israeli officials cau- tioned that similar forecasts of reduced levels of Israeli economic needs from the United States earlier White Papers
