Washington (JTA) — Israel is one
of the beneficiaries of Republican
plans to beef up America's de-
fense budget.
With defense one of the few
areas in which Congress has
moved to increase rather than de-
crease spending, lawmakers in
both the House and the Senate
have approved hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars for U.S.-Israel co-
operative military programs.
Two Defense Department
funding bills making their way
through Congress include more
than $35 million for the Arrow
anti- missile missile. Congress
has also agreed to spend tens of
millions of dollars on the Hunter
unmanned aerial vehicle and
more than $38 million on the
"Popeye" missile.
An additional $14 million is
slated to be spent on upgraded
armor for tanks. Under the pro-
posal, Israel would also benefit
from a pool of $6 million set aside
for cooperative international
counterterrorism programs.
The programs are included in
the Senate's $243 billion Defense
Department appropriations bill
as well as in its $265 billion De-
fense Department authorization
bill. The appropriations bill,
which actually spends the money,
passed the Senate on Tuesday
night in a 62-35 vote.
The authorization bill, which
sets spending limits, passed the
Senate 64-34.
The House has already passed
similar Defense Department
spending bills with similar pro-
visions designated for such coop-
erative programs.
The measures will now go to
a House and Senate conference
committee to hammer out any
differences. Congress will then
send the legislation to President
Clinton, who is expected to
sign.

Make An Arrest
Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli secu-
rity forces have arrested the per-
son believed responsible for the
stabbing of a Jewish family in the
West Bank.
The assailant was identified as
Hamdalleh Abdel Hadi Abdel
Aziz, 20, a resident of an Arab vil-
lage near the settlement of
Ma'aleh Michmas, which is north
of Jerusalem and near the West
Bank town of Ramallah.
"He had a criminal back-
ground and recently began a
process of becoming more reli-
gious. He went to the mosque
daily," the Israel Defense Force
said.
