J. Stephen Morrison, a staff
member of the House For-
eign Affairs subcommittee
on Africa, which is chaired
by Rep. Howard Wolpe
(D.-Mich.).
According to the Washing-
ton Jewish Week, the con-
gressional memo alleges
that Israel provided Ethi-
opia with 100 cluster bombs
in 1989, possibly through
Argentina and Chile, and
that 10 to 20 Israeli military
advisers participated in
training members of
Mengistu's elite Palace
Guard.
It also said that Ethiopia
had pressed Israel to provide
more cluster bombs, but that
the Israelis had deferred be-
cause of U.S. pressure.
But that report was
disputed by Israeli officials
and pro- Israeli groups in
Washington.
The Israeli Embassy
spokeswoman, Ruth Yaron,
denied Friday that Israel
had sold cluster bombs to E-
thiopia and said there had
not been "military coopera-
tion between Ethiopia and
Israel."
And, according to a pro-
Israel lobbyist, the Ameri-
can Israel Public Affairs
Committee has received
assurances from top Pen-
tagon officials and Herman
Cohen, assistant secretary of
state for African affairs, that
the United States does not
believe that Israel supplied
cluster bombs to Ethiopia.
Recant of AAEJ said he
had received similar
assurances.
Another pro-Israel lobbyist
said he believed Israel would
not be "stupid enough" to
have supplied cluster bombs
to Ethiopia that were made
with U.S. technology.
That would directly violate
U.S. law and could lead to an
end to U.S. foreign aid.
But the lobbyist said Israel
could have supplied cluster
bombs that it made
"independent of U.S.
technology." Israel ap-
parently began work on its
own cluster bomb, after the
United States suspended
cluster bomb sales to Israel
in 1982, during the war in
Lebanon. The embargo was
lifted in 1988.
The lobbyist pointed out
that one of Israel's main
purposes in Ethiopia "is to
get Jews out of situations in
danger and into Israel. They
will do just about anything
within the bounds of the real
world." El
