Israel to Dismantle
`Lekem' Intelligence Unit
Washington (JTA) — A team of
American officials sent to Israel
two weeks ago to investigate the
Jonathan Pollard spy case has re-
turned home, apparently satisfied
with Israel's cooperation and
measures to ensure that the
episode would not be repeated.
Reports from Jerusalem over
the weekend said the Israeli au-
thorities are dismantling a
little-known intelligence gather-
ing unit of the Defense Ministry
allegedly involved with Pollard
and that Rafael Eitan, the man
who reportedly recruited and
handled Pollard, has been re-
moved as its head.
State Department deputy
spokesman Charles Redman read
a statement Friday saying the
U.S. investigators had received
"full cooperation" from the Is-
raelis and that all U.S. documents
obtained by Israel "in an unau-
thorized manner" have been re-
turned. "The government of Israel
has acted to prevent any repeti-
tion of such activities," the state-
ment said. It noted that Israel told
the investigators that the Pollard

Washington — The B'nai B'rith
Youth Organization (BBYO) will
broaden the scope of its Israel
Summer Institute in 1986 with
the introduction of a new prog-
ram, "ISI: The Great Outdoors."
The program incorporates a
"back to nature" approach for
those visiting Israel with several
days of hiking in the north and
two days in the south.
For information on "ISI: The
Great Outdoors" or the three
other ISI programs, contact Arnie
Sohinki, BBYO assistant interna-
tional director, 1640 Rhode Island

operation had been undertaken
"without authority" from the
Jerusalem government.
Redman's statement was re-
leased in the name of the inves-
tigating team which included
State and Justice Department of-
ficials and was headed by Ab-
raham Sofaer, legal advisor to the
State Department. Asked why
there was no joint statement, as
had been expected, Redman said:
"There are many aspects of this
statement which involve agree-
ment with the Israeli govern-
ment, so that this is, in that sense,
a joint statement."
The unit reportedly dismantled
is the Liaison Bureau for Scien-
tific Affairs, known by its Hebrew
acronym, "Lekem." Eitan, the
former chief of Mossad, Israel's
secret service, who headed it, has
been detached but remains on the
government payroll, according to
reports from Jerusalem.
