U.S. economy down?
American workers suffering?

However, there have been no
official statements from
Kuwait abandoning the
boycott."
The boycott is observed in
varying degrees by the 20
members of the League of
Arab States, whose Central
Boycott Office in Syria de-
veloped the boycott policy.
Only one of the 20 Arab
League countries, Egypt,
trades directly with Israel.
Of the other 19 countries,
eight do business with com-
panies that do business with
Israel: Algeria, Djibouti,
Kuwait, Mauritania,
Morocco, Somalia, Sudan
and Tunisia.
Eleven others bar any such
business, directly or in-
directly: Bahrain, Iraq, Jor-
dan, Lebanon, Libya, Oman,
Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria,
the United Arab Emirates
and Yemen.
The Jerusalem Post re-
ported last week that the
Israeli Cabinet has decided
to "make the boycott issue
central to all economic and
political meetings between
Israeli and foreign represen-
tatives."
In addition, the Cabinet
called on Israeli companies
hurt by the Arab boycott to
report the offending firms to
the government, the Post •
also reported.
The Cabinet appointed a
five-member committee
composed of ministry direc-
tors general to coordinate
the effort.
An explanatory note ac-
companying the announce-
ment stated that Israel's
trade with France, Ger-
many, Great Britain,
Switzerland, Japan and
Korea has been significantly
affected by the boycott.
Mr. Maslow said this
marks the "first time the
Israeli government has ever
assumed that it would ever
take an all-out position at-
tacking the boycott."

Arens Denies
Attack Warning

Tel Aviv (J TA) — Defense
Minister Moshe Arens seems
to have contradicted a report
by another defense estab-
lishment official that Syria
is planning to attack Israel.
Mr. Arens said that at pre-
sent there is no evidence to
support such information.
Earlier, the news media
widely quoted a warning by
an unnamed senior defense
source that Syria might at-
tack Israel if there is no pro-
gress in the bilateral peace
talks, which resume in
Washington on April 27.
