Heart Answers NEWS Bush Trip To Israel Considered A Success Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel as a whole has a markedly more secure and confident feeling after Vice President George Bush's visit here last week. The man who may well be the next U.S. President and leader of the free world had been regard- ed here with a certain sense of distance, even trepidation. Some of the media, and some pundits, had written that Bush, while not unfriendly, was less friendly than other American leaders — and other Presidential hopefuls — towards the Jewish State. At best, they said, he was uncaring, indifferent to the uni- que features of the Jewish historical experience. Now, after stripping away all the pap and pizzaz inevitably present in a Vice Presidential visit, and in Vice Presidential rhetoric, most Israelis are left with a comfortable feeling that Bush follows what is by now a mainstream tradition in Ameri- can government of regarding Israel as both a strategic ally and a moral mainstay for the United States. His declaration that the two countries were "allies in every sense of the word" and his state ment that "many intangible, and in a sense spiritual, ties" have developed "a multitude of word- ly bonds" between the U.S. and Israel, .seemed to leave a glow here. And Israeli leaders, par- ticularly Deputy Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, had made a point of emphasizing Bush's per- sonal involvement in the rescue of Ethiopian Jewry and his long time interest in the cause of . Soviet Jewry. Bush for his part visited a Russian immigrant family and an Ethiopian absorption center in his packed, much photograph- ed and filmed four-day itinerary here — thereby stressing those same points. In terms of substantive poli- cies, the Vice President had no major pronouncement to make here. But he pleased his hosts by indicating that Washington is weighing a new, more preferred, status for Israel in the field of military supplies and support. He said at his press conference in Jerusalem that Israel might in the future benefit from the same preferential trade benefits as Australia and New Zealand enjoy. He was also at pains to ease recent tensions surrounding the Pollard spy affair and subse- quent allegations of Israeli technology-smuggling, which have sullied relations between the U.S. and Israel. He hoped, he said, that his visit had the effect of dispelling misplaced suspicions here that some American officials were conducting a vendetta against Israel. On the Palestinian issue, moveover, the Bush was careful not to step out beyond the Reagan plan — this despite pressured on him by hardline Palestinian circles in the West Bank and Gaza. And he was generous in his praise of Prime Minister Shimon Peres's visit to King Hassan of Morocco. On the debit side in summing up this visit, there were the fail- ed hopes that somehow Bush's presence in the area could be us- ed as a pivot around which to construct the long-awaited sum- mit between Peres and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Some Israeli officials believed the sum- mit could become a threesome, with Bush participating. But this is apparently not to be, as Israeli and Egyptian negotiators still continued in Eilat to haggle over the fin- ishing touches to the Taba ar- bitration document. On the credit side, however, the visit did catalyze the initiall- ing of an accord on the building of huge Voice of America trans- mitters in the Negev — with Washington pledging that some 50 percent of_ all the contracts linked to this $250 million pro- ject will go to Israeli companies. SYNAGOGUE V WHAT IS CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE? Congenital heart disease is the ab- normal development of the heart be- fore a child is born. A congenital heart defect may be diagnosed at birth or it may be discovered at some time during childhood in a routine physical examination. Some defects may be caused by'cirugs taken during pregnancy or exposure to German measles (rubella) during pregnancy. They may be inherited, or the cause may be unknown. Con- genital heart defects may require only minimal medical supervision or they may require corrective surgery to avoid complications later in life. Some congenital heart defects can be prevented by vaccination of the mother against rubella prior to preg- nancy and by following a doctor's ad- vice while taking medications during pregnancy. Contact your local - Ameri- can Heart Association for more information.
