Cheney Plans
Israel Trip

New York (JTA) —
Defense Secretary Dick
Cheney has announced that
he will travel to Israel at the
end of the month, after at-
tending a NATO meeting in
Europe.
Mr. Cheney said the trip to
Israel had been planned a
year ago but was first
delayed when Israel's na-
tional unity government col-
lapsed last spring and later
put off by the Persian Gulf
crisis.
This would be Mr.
Cheney's first trip to Israel
as secretary of defense
although he said he visited
Israel a few times during his
tenure as a Republican con-
gressman from Wyoming.
Speaking at a news con-
ference here May 2 prior to
addressing the American
Jewish Committee's 85th
annual meeting, Mr. Cheney
said that America's closer
ties with the Arab nations as
a result of cooperation dur-
ing the Gulf war had not
harmed the U.S. relation-
ship with Israel.
"I don't see why we have to
adopt an either/or view
toward relations with Arabs
and Israel," he said.
"I don't see anything that
altered our fundamental re-
lationship," he said.

Israel Places
Third In Contest

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel, a .
three-time winner in the
Eurovision song contest,
placed third in this year's
competition.
Sweden took first prize and
France was second in the
global competition, which is
organized by the European
Broadcasting Union and
televised annually. The con-
test was broadcast
worldwide from Rome on
May 3.
The Israeli entry was a
song titled "Kan" (Here),
about the joys of living in
Israel. It was performed by
Orna and Moshe Datz, a
husband-and-wife duo.
It was a tight race, in
which 22 national juries
awarded points on a scale of
1 to 8, and panels selected by
local national broadcasting
authorities gave up to 10
and 12 points.
Israel compiled a total of
139 points. France and
Sweden tied with 144 points,
but the judges gave first
prize to Sweden because
Sweden placed first with
more of the juries.

By our coming together, we showed the world—
especially our brothers and sisters in Israel and the USSR=
that we truly are
