"Dear Mr. Prime Minister,"
Reagan wrote in the Dec. 12 let-
ter. enjoyed our recent very
productive talks here in Wash-
ington which I believe form the
basis for continued close col-
laboration between the United
States and Israel. I hope that
our relationship, which is so im-
portant to the prospects for
world peace and stability, will
continue to broaden and deepen
and find new means of expres-
sion to the mutual benefit of our
peoples.
"As Ambassador (Sam) Lewis
has undoubtedly explained, I
have made the modernization
and expansion of our interna-
tional broadcasting capabilities
one of my Administration's
highest priorities. As Israel is
very well suited geographically
to the development of such a
capability, I hope that your
government will give close and
sympathetic consideration to
our request for construction of
radio relay facilities in Israel. I
firmly believe that the Western
radios provide a priceless form
of moral and spiritual support
for those who are deprived of
full national, civil, cultural and

They serve our common purpose
in letting the truth be known
and in demonstrating to the peo-

as well as the overall state of
U.S.-Israel relations. May I take
this opportunity once again to
express my gratitude for the
warm welcome extended to me
and the most fruitful conversa-
tions with you as well as with
members of your Cabinet.
"Indeed, I greatly appreciate
your willingness to support both
politically and in private our de-
termined efforts to restore sta-
bility in our economy while sus-
taining our deterrence capabili-
ties.
"Your re-election, Mr. Pres-
ident, promises the free world
four more years of your enlight-
ened leadership and offers our
people further opportunity to
enjoy the unique friendship we
have grown to appreciate.
"I have given careful consi-
deration to your message con-
cerning the importance you at-
tach to the modernization and
expansion of the U.S. interna-
tional broadcasting capability.
Indeed, I find myself in com-
plete agreement with your deter-
mination to provide those de-
prived of the right to express a
diversity of views with the op-
portunity to listen to it.
"As you probably recall, in
the past we have found it diffi-
cult to accommodate the re-
quest to establish a relay station
in Israel. Even though the State
of Israel may be geographically
