Israeli offiCials have been anxious to try to remove the matter from such high public visilibity. Inouye, a strong supporter of Israel and the ranking minority member of the Senate Appro- priations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations, did not di- rectly refer to the Pollard case in explaining his decision to • drop the initiative at this time. Instead, he cited strict budgetary problems in Congress and fresh assurances from Sec- retary of State George Shultz that the Administration would itself study other means to ease Israel's foreign debt repayment problems. The Administration had op- posed the Inouye amendment as "budget busting." It had noted that Israel was already slated to receive $3 billion in economic and military grants in the 1986 fiscal year foreign aid bill. Be- yond that assistance, Congress passed earlier this year a supplementary, two-year $1.5 billion economic package for Is- rael. The Wall Street Journal said Israel's supporters in Congress had looked for "a graceful way to pull back" from the Inouye proposal. Israeli officials, who had warmly welcomed the Inouye plan as representing a major long-term bonanza for Israel's ailing economy, privately ac- knowledged that the decision to withdraw the amendment was the first "tangible" damage caused by the Pollard case. They expressed hope that Inouye would revive his initiative next year. had the Inouye amendment passed this year, Congressional observers said, there almost cer- tainly would have been even more significant economic sav- ings for Israel in the long run. The initial saving for Israel next year — as envisaged in the ill- fated Inouye proposal — was to be followed in subsequent years by additional amendments aimed at reducing the interest rates on other outstanding loans. All of that is now going to have to wait until the dust set- tles from the Pollard business," a pro-Israeli Congressional source said. The State Department, meanwhile, has defended the decision to name its legal ad- viser, Judge Abraham Sofaer, as the head of the U.S. delegation sent to Israel this week to inves- tigate the Pollard scandal. Spokesman Charles Redman, asked Monday at the daily news briefing whether Sofaer was a Jew or Zionist, replied: "It's not my role to comment on those kinds of questions." But when pressed about Sofaer's background, Redman said: "The State Department feels that officials with the State Department will conduct their business in a thoroughly profes- sional manner, and there's abso- lutely no question whatsoever that Judge Sofaer and other people participating in this delegation will not do so on a pat basis." Sofaer, a former New York state judge, presided over the Ariel Sharon versus Time mag- azine libel trial before joining the State Department last summer. He was widely praised for his handling of that case. He is Jewish and a frequent visitor to Israel. Joining him in the delegation were other senior officials of the State Department, Justice De- partment, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. The State Department again said Monday that it expected Is- Israel is anxious to maintain the tradition of diplomatic immunity for its officials while at the same time offering some degree of cooperation. rael to fully cooperate with the delegation. "We intend to pur- sue fully this case," Redman said, adding that the U.S. has been assured of the full cooper- ation of the Israeli authorities." That, he added, "continues to be the ground rules under which we operate." Redman also confirmed that Minister Without Portfolio Moshe Arens, a former ambas- sador to the U.S., met last Thursday evening in Washing- ton confidentially with Secre- tary of State George Shultz. "It concerned the Pollard case," Re- dman said. But he declined to elaborate. "I can't characterize any further that meeting on Thursday night." Shultz met with Arens two weeks earlier, on the night Pol- lard was arrested outside the Is- raeli Embassy in Washington. That session had been prev- iously scheduled, long before the U.S. civilian naval intelligence analyst was picked up on es- pionage charges. During that first meeting, the two men dis- cussed the case in some detail although other issues were also reviewed. This second session was exclu- sively devoted to the logistics of the U.S. visit to Israel and other aspects of the affair. Shultz and Arens established a close, personal friendship dur- ing Arens' tenure as ambassador in Washington. Both are known to have extremely high regard for each other. Shultz, in announcing the visit at a news conference last Friday, said "We have every reason to believe that the issues involved will be resolved satis- factorily." The Secretary, responding to a
