New Deals
In Defense Area

Jerusalem (JPFS) — McDonnell
Douglas has signed $400 million
in deals with Israeli defense con-
tractors, more than half of its
offset agreement for the IDF's
purchase of the F-15I, a senior
company executive said.
Robert Trice Jr., McDonnell's
vice president of business de-
velopment, told the Israel Man-
agement Center that his
company is looking for long-term
partnerships with contractors
in Israel rather than simply pur-
chasing products from them as
part of the offset agreement.
"There are very few countries
that McDonnell Douglas sees as
important strategically to its fu-
ture," Mr. Trice said. "One of
them is Israel."
Mr. Trice said a dozen Israeli
companies are already direct
suppliers to McDonnell. They
include Israel Aircraft Indus-
tries' Lahav division, which is a
partner in a bid to upgrade 435
T-38 trainer jets.
Elbit and Rafael are working
with the U.S. defense contrac-
tor to develop and supply the
Dash Helmet and Python mis-
sile to McDonnell's F-18A.
Israel is also one of 11 nations
involved in a McDonnell project
to develop the MD900 Explorer,
a new airplane.
In the civilian sector, an Is-
raeli consortium is working with
McDonnell to develop solar en-
ergy in a project to begin this
year. In another project, Madah-
Com, a small Israeli firm, is
working with McDonnell to
adapt military communications
to develop a commercial public
address system.

tistics reported.
The rate of growth in retail
sales of food picked up by a
monthly average of 2 percent in
the first three months of the
year, compared to 1.5 percent in
the fourth quarter of 1995 and
1 percent in last year's third
quarter.
