Washington (JTA) — Israel has
denied charges leveled by the
Central Intelligence Agency that
it is extensively involved in eco-
nomic espionage against the
United States.
A CIA report released this
month by the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence ac-
cused Israel, France, China, Rus-
sia, Iran and Cuba of trying to
steal high-tech secrets for com-
mercial advantage.
U.S. officials have long accused
Israel and France of such activ-
ity, but the report marked the
first time the CIA cited the coun-
tries in the public record.
"Israel is not involved in any
sort of espionage either within or
against the United States," said
Gadi Baltiansky, a spokesman
for the Israeli Embassy in Wash-
ington, adding, "It's a recycling
of a very old story."
The Senate committee pub-
lished the CIA report, dated May
10, as part of its hearing record
on current and projected nation-
al security threats to the United
States.
Mark Mansfield, a CIA
spokesman, said the agency pro-
vided the unclassified assess-

ment in response to questions
raised at the Senate hearing. Re-
sponses to sensitive inquiries are
typically classified to be kept out
of the record, and Mansfield de-
clined to elaborate on why the
CIA decided to make the black-
list public.
The CIA said it narrowly de-
fined economic espionage "to in-
clude a government-directed or
orchestrated clandestine effort
to collect U.S. economic secrets
or proprietary information."
Since 1985, when U.S. Navy
intelligence analyst Jonathan
Pollard was caught spying for Is-
rael, the Jewish state and Jew-
ish government employees have
faced a high level of scrutiny.
Last year, a low-level field of-
ficial with the Department of De-
fense issued a confidential
memorandum to defense con-
tractors putting them on alert for
Israeli espionage. It said that
"strong ethnic ties" to American
Jews allow Israel to steal mili-
tary and industrial secrets "ag-
gressively."
The Defense Department lat-
er repudiated and canceled the
memo in the face of a public out-
cry.

Mile Road, Warren.
Guest speakers for the joint
meeting will be Judge Edward
Sosnick, chief judge of the Oak-
land Circuit Court, and Judge
Deborah Servitto of the Macomb

nick and Servitto will speak on

From Sunday, Oct. 13, through
Thursday, Oct. 31, CHAIM-
Children of Holocaust-Survivors
Association In Michigan, in con-
junction with the Jewish Com-
munity Center will sponsor a
special photographic exhibition,
"Eyes From The Ashes," by pho-
tographer Ann Weiss.
Several years ago, Ms. Weiss,
a professional photographer and
a daughter of Holocaust sur-
vivors, traveled to Auschwitz.
There she discovered thousands
of the photographs that Jews
brought with them on their
tragic journey to the camp. She
received special permission from
the Polish officials to photo-
graph the photographs. The re-
sult of her work is this
photographic exhibition.
The exhibition will be on dis-
play in the lobby of the Maple-
Drake Jewish Community
Center. On Sunday, Oct. 27 at
1 p.m., Ann Weiss will come
from Philadelphia to give a lec-
ture at Maple-Drake about her
exhibit. There is no charge.
