It is very important that when the room or the home is done it looks like the client, not
Brian Killian. If you look through my portfolio, you probably would not find two rooms
alike. You would not recognize that one designer had done it all. And that's most important.
ON THE DESIGN PROCESS
A designer's art is the ability to coordinate all of the other art families together . . . I've
got a chair, I've got fabric and wallpaper, I've got color and a painter, I've got an
electrician ... all those things are my palette. And when I put them together I'm
practicing my art.
ON BUDGET
A designer's role is to assist a client with budget issues.
A client of mine will hear me say "you don't need
to spend that much money" as often as they will
hear me say "you do need to spend the money".
ON USING MICHIGAN DESIGN CENTER

To me, the most important thing about the
Michigan Design Center is the fabrics and
wallcoverings. It puts us on a national par
with New York or Los Angeles. If I open
Architectural Digest and find a fabric that
I love, I don't have to fly to Paris to get it.
I just have to go over to Stutz Drive and it's
there. That's where the Michigan Design
Center gives us
an edge.

National Car Rental
Invests In Israel
State of Israel Bonds an-
nounced today that the pen-
sion fund for National Car
Rental System, Inc., Min-
neapolis, Minn., has invested
$5 million in State of Israel
Bonds.
According to Ambassador
Meir Rosenne, president of
State of Israel Bonds, the Na-
tional Car Rental investment
is significant because of its
major contribution to Israel
Bond's recently completed
$100 million emergency cam-
paign, and the fact that a
large corporate pension fund
has taken the lead in a uni-
que investment opportunity.
Ambassador Rosenne said
"the terrible image of Tel
Aviv as air raid sirens sound
in the background, and the
shocking sight of Israeli
citizens in gas masks, has
touched a responsive chord in
Jew and non-Jew alike. To
give expression to their con-
cern, tens of thousands of in-
dividuals have chosen Israel
Bonds as the most ap-
propriate means of showing
solidarity with Israel during
a time of grave national
crisis."
Vincent A. Wasik, Chair-
man and CEO of National
Car Rental, said the invest-
ment made sense for several
reasons.
"First and foremost, it
represents a solid, secure in-
vestment move for our pen-
sion fund with a good rate of
return," Wasik said. "And
also, the bonds represent
freedom for so many im-
migrants — primarily
through Russian immigra-
tion to Israel so strongly sup-
ported by the U.S. govern-
ment — that it was the right
thing to do."
In addition, Wasik said it
made sense for other pension
funds across the country to
take a hard look at this type
of investment.
Since its inception in 1951,
State of Israel Bonds has
mobilized about $11 billion in
investment capital and
redeemed approximately $7
billion for the development of
every aspect of Israel's
economy, including agricul-
ture, commerce, industry and
foreign trade.
Now, with tens of thousands
of Jews arriving from the
Soviet Union, Bond proceeds
are being utilized to help
Israel provide jobs and homes
for Soviet and other
immigrants.
Business As Usual In Israel
Trade Commissioner Says
Israel's exporting com-
panies are fully operational
with production and shipping
running according to
schedule, announced Meir
Buber, Israel Trade Commis-
sioner to the U.S.
"Our industries manufac-
turing products for export are
key to our economic growth
and therefore every effort has
been made to operate as nor-
mally as possible," Mr. Buber
said.
Israel's marketing and pro-
motion activities in the U.S.
are in full operation, with
many of Israel's manufac-
turers exhibiting at national
trade shows, including the
Jewelers of America show, the
National Shoe Fair, the
Kosherfest Show and Vision
Expo.
According to the Israel
Ports Authority, all ports are
operating at nearly peak
levels and are providing nor-
mal services. The number of
shipping cancellations has
been negligible, and
freighters are sailing accor-
ding to schedule.
With regard to air freight,
Mr. Buber said, cargo flights
to and from Israel are pro-
ceeding as usual, with no sur-
charges or insurance add-ons
from El Al.
"El Al, Arkia and CAL pro-
vide 80 percent of air freight
service to Israel, so there is no
problem of absorbing cargos
that would have been carried
by other airlines that cancell-
ed services. At this time, El Al
is adding flights as needed,"
Mr. Buber said.
Cargo and vessels — either
Israeli or non-Israeli — arriv-
ing and departing Israel are
now eligible for insurance by
the Israel Government at a
special premium of .375 per-
cent for a month or less.
In addition, all import and
export services, including
customs and other ancillary
services for export (handling,
customs, insurance and bank-
ing) are functioning at full
capacity.
