FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1991

M. Sempliner

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The vast
majority of the Soviet Jews
who have immigrated to
Israel are glad they made
the choice.
An overwhelming 78 per-
cent would advise their
relatives still in the Soviet
Union to come to Israel, ac-
cording to a poll of recent
olim, conducted in October.
The results, published Dec.
26 in Ma'ariv, show that
only 8 percent would rec-
ommend their relatives go to
the United States or another
country, and only 3 percent
would advise them to stay in
the Soviet Union. Another
10 percent said they were
uncertain.
The United States had
been the choice of the vast
majority of Jews leaving the
Soviet Union until last year,
when Washington stopped
increasing its refugee quota
to keep pace with the rising
level of Jewish emigration.
Meanwhile, Shoshana
Cardin, newly elected
chairwoman of the Con-
ference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish
Organizations, urged
American Jews to regard
Soviet aliyah as a tremen-
dous investment opportuni-

ty, rather than only a
philanthropic cause.
Mrs. Cardin was in
Jerusalem along with
Seymour Reich, outgoing
chairman of the Conference
of Presidents, an umbrella
group representing 46 na-
tional Jewish organizations
in the United States.
She and Mr. Reich were
critical of the apparent lack
of bureaucratic coordination
among the Israeli ministries
and agencies responsible for
immigration and absorption.
"There seems to be not
that urgency of everyone
working together to ensure
the maximum efficiency in
the minimum amount of
time," said Mrs. Cardin, who
also chairs the National
Conference on Soviet Jewry.
She said American Jewish
investors could make money
while helping build homes
and amenities for the mill-
ion Soviet Jews expected in
Israel by the end of next
year.
She said the Conference of
Presidents would be press-
ing for larger U.S. loan
guarantees to help Israel ab-
sorb the massive immigra-
tion.

General To Plea-Bargain
In Israeli Fraud Case

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The chief
military prosecutor has con-
firmed that a plea bargain
agreement has been signed
with Brig. Gen. Rami Dotan,
an air force officer charged
with large scale embezzle-
ment, bribery and corrup-
tion.
Israel Defense Force Judge
Advocate General Amnon
Strasnov, who disclosed the
deal, stressed that the pros-
ecution would demand a stiff
sentence regardless of the
plea. He hinted at 10 to 13
years in prison.
Mr. Strasnov explained
that the length of the
sentence would depend on
how the charges are for-
mulated, which he refused to
specify. But he said an in-
dictment would be presented
in court shortly.
Many ranking IDF offi-
cers, including air force
commander Gen. Avihu Bin-
Nun, consider Gen. Dotan a
traitor and believe he should
be tried as such.
But Mr. Strasnov rejected
their opposition to a plea

bargain. It was the only way
to get to the bottom of a very
serious and complicated in-
vestigation, he said.
He described the Dotan af-
fair as the biggest, most se-
rious case of fraud and
embezzlement ever exposed
in Israel and certainly in the
IDF.
Mr. Strasnov said the
accused would return all of
the money he and his con-
federates obtained by
fraudulent means in
exchange for a promise by
the prosecution that his wife
would not be implicated in
the charges against him.
Gen. Dotan, former com-
mander of the air force
quartermaster corps, was
the air force's senior repre-
sentative on the Defense
Ministry's purchasing mis-
sion in New York in 1984
and 1985.
He and his associates are
alleged to have pocketed
tens of millions of dollars
through elaborate schemes
involving bribes, kickbacks,
phony invoices and
undelivered materiel.
