MR. MECH Complete Auto Repair a Foreign & Domestic Kuwait Excludes Jews From Bids Amsterdam (JTA) — Kuwait, doubly devastated by six months of Iraqi oc- cupation and the seven-week Persian Gulf war, is still demanding that firms sub- mitting bids for work in that country include statements that they are not Jewish and do not employ Jews, accor- ding to Israeli officials. The issue arises now par- ticularly as Kuwait seeks to reconstruct its war-torn country. The allegation that Kuwait is still asking for the affirmation of non-Jewish participation in work in the country was made by Israel's ambassador to the Nether- lands, Micha Bawly, at a meeting of the Collective Israel Appeal, as the United Israel Appeal is known in Holland. Mr. Bawly said the bids must state that no Jew sits on the bidding company's board, is part of its manage- ment or an employee. That was a condition of do- ing business with Kuwait before the war and remains so today, the envoy said. There have been hopes ex- pressed since the war that Kuwait, faced with the same menace from Iraq as Israel and benefiting from U.S. troops, which even included some Jews, would change its position. Israel Retires Smallest Coin Tel Aviv (JTA) — The agorah, Israel's lowest-de- nomination coin, has been officially withdrawn from circulation. The tiny copper-and-nickel disk cost more to mint than it was worth, the Bank of Israel explained. The action retiring the coin was taken April 1. It took 100 agorot to equal one shekel, Israel's basic unit of exchange, which is worth about 46 U.S. cents at current rates. The agorah, therefore, was valued at less than half a U.S. penny. Israeli shopkeepers preferred not to accept it. Israel's smallest coins now are the 5-and 10-agorah de- nominations. But while the single agorah is no longer in cir- culation, banks and major businesses will continue to figure their profits and losses down to the last agorah.
