The measure was adopted by a comfortable margin of 60-53, with one abstention. It was two days late accor- ding to Israeli law, which requires the state budget to be in place by midnight Dec. 31. But its passage rescued Mr. Shamir's contentious coalition of right-wing and religious parties at least temporarily from dissolu- tion. Had the bill failed, Mr. Shamir would have almost certainly handed his resig- nation to President Chaim Herzog and called for early elections. As it turned out, he bought time in a very literal sense by promising hundreds of millions of dollars in public funds to subsidize the schools run by constituents of the religious parties. The prime minister also pledged additional hundreds of millions of dollars for an accelerated settlement building and expansion pro- gram in the administered territories. This issue has al- ready gotten Israel into trouble with Washington and could seriously jeopar- dize future U.S. aid for im- migrant resettlement. No sooner had the budget become law when the Knesset plunged into an- other divisive debate over an electoral reform measure that would provide for the popular election of the prime minister by separate ballot not linked to party lists. Though Mr. Shamir once supported the reform bill, the Likud leader reversed himself when it apparently occurred to him that he might be unseated by a more charismatic candidate from the Labor opposition. Under Mr. Shamir's prod- ding, the huge Likud Cen- tral Committee voted almost unanimously last month to oppose the reform measure. The bill was thus doomed, according to political observers. But Laborites professed to be hopeful of a majority in favor. Uriel Linn, the Likud chairman of the Knesset Law Committee, was ex- pected to pull the measure off the floor and into com- mittee limbo if it showed the slightest signs of advancing. Mr. Linn has the power under the rules, though the tactic is rarely used and has earned the opprobrium of legal academicians and jurists in recent days. The entire opposition walked out of the chamber to protest what it charged was Likud filibustering to avoid a vote on electoral reform. The result was that many clauses of the budget bill were passed with no opposi- tion members present. Apart from the unseemly bickering by the Orthodox parties over their access to the public purse, the budget measure was controversial on economic grounds. It has a built-in deficit of 6.2 percent of the gross na- tional product, which The prime minister also pledged additional hundreds of millions of dollars for an accelerated settlement building and expansion program in the territories. economists say borders on recklessness. The Treasury said that massive immigrant absorption costs necessitate this policy. In their final deal, the three haredi or Orthodox parties — Shas, Agudat Yisrael and Degel HaTorah — withdrew their demand for a $17 million reserve fund in the Prime Minister's Office, to which they would have recourse should they feel the ministries and Edu- cation and Religious Affairs are short-changing their in- stitutions. Both ministries are con- trolled by the National Re- ligious Party, which is Or- thodox, too, but Zionist- affiliated and a rival for the allocation of state money. The NRP had precipitated the crisis by refusing to sup- port the budget unless "special funding" for the haredi parties was channel- ed through the appropriate ministries, instead of dispersed directly without accountability.
