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 BBYO Expands ISI Program 20300 Civic Center Dr., Suite 240 Southfield, Mi. 48076-4138 State Occasion Zip Code PAINSEssesimium Israeli Sun - 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."

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.
