public-owned financial in-
stitutions providing capital
for innovation-based
businesses.
Ross said while the U.S.
market is many times larger
than Israel's, there are ad-
vanages for Michigan-based
companies seeking to
penetrate Western Europe.
He noted that a Michigan
company could ship goods to
Israel, have "value added"
there, and have the goods
enter the European Economic
Community (Common
Market) with Israel's
favorable trading satus.
Should Michigan accelerate
its efforts to do business with
Israel following Ross' return
Dec. 31, a key step will be the
hiring of facilitators in the
Commerce Department and
in Israel "to keep the pipeline
flowing." As an example, Ross
said the Israel-based
facilitator may identify a joint
venture opportunity and ask
his Michigan-based counter-
part to find a partner. The
Michigan facilitator would in-
form the Israel facilitator

quickly whether a match can
be made.
Ross said that should the
relationship between the two
countries accelerate, he would
measure the amount of deals
consummated over a two-year
period before determining
"what our (Michigan's) level
of investment ought to be
given the level of demand."
Through the American-
Israel Chamber of Commerce
of Michigan, Ross was in-
troduced to Israel trade
representative David Litvak
last January and explored for-
malizing relations between
Israel and Michigan. Ross
and Michigan Chamber Ex-
ecutive Director Shelly
Jackier travelled to
Washington in October to at-
tend a conference com-
memorating the second an-
niversary of the Israel-U.S.
free trade agreement and
finalized plans for the current
trip.
The trip is Ross' fifth to
Israel and the first in his
capacity as Commerce
Department director.

"I've been trying to explain
to my six-year-old son why he
can't see his grandparents,"
Igor Tufeld said last Sunday
before addressing the Huinan
Rights Plea for Soviet Jewry
at Cong. Shaarey Zedek. "I
don't understand why myself.
We have no secrets. We don't
have anything to hide. We just
want to be together."
Grossman flew into Detroit
for the day from Washington,
D.C. to muster support for the
annual Human Rights Plea
sponsored by the Soviet Jewry
Committee of the Jewish
Community Council. He join-
ed U.S. Rep. Sander Levin,
community leaders and Igor
Tufeld, who is visiting the
United States to seek help for
his parents, who he fears will

die in the Soviet Union
without the necessary
medical attention.
His mother, 56, has a brain
tumor, which is causing her
vision to deteriorate and her
speech to slur. His father, 59,
was declared an invalid a few
years ago.
Vladimir Tufeld worked as
an electronics engineer and
had security clearance until
November 1973. He wanted
to leave the country and quit
his job for a less glamourous
position without security
clearance so he could apply
for a visa.
Soon after he asked to
emigrate, Vladimir Tufeld
was demoted from his new job
and was ultimately forced to

"I've been trying to
explain to my six-
year-old son why
he can't see his
grandparents."

resign. He then suffered a
heart attack and developed a
degenerative back problem.
Tufeld is hopeful that last
week's summit between
President Reagan and Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev
will help his case. But human
rights and government
leaders are less optimistic.
"I didn't see any progress in
human rights," Levin said,
adding that Reagan clearly
made the issue a priority.
