Begin, in an address-to more than 150 businessmen at a luncheon here sponsored by the U.S.-Israel Business Council and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Mar. 28, ' made a pitch for both countries. He urged Americans to invest in Israel where he said they would find the combination of "inventive brains" and "skilled labor" needed to make investments profitable. He also stressed that Israel's free enterprise policy and stable political conditions offer a fertile ground for investment. He promisedthat all bureaucratic obstacles would be removed 'tot American investors. Begin also urged American, investment in Egypt to help end its poverty and set an example to other Mideastern countries, that peace brings prosperity." He - stressed that "Egypt needs help" to overcome its economic and social problems: "I, a Jew, an Israeli, appeal to you, to invest in Egypt and help them rebuild their economy,"' he said. Begin' also1 noted that the peace treaty Israel signed With Egypt Mar. 26 ended Egypt's participation In the Arab economic boycott of Israel.' Begin devoted much of his speech to - warning against Soviet machinations in the Middle East and denouncing the oil sheikhdoms that try to dictate policy to the free world. He said Israel had been seeking to diversify its oil sources even before . the downfall' of the Shah of Iran. He stressed that Sadat has pledged to provide Israel with oil from the Sinai. Begin said that although the U.S. has pledged to provide Israel with oil for the next 15 years if it cannot obtain oil from other-sources, "we will do everything possible" not to have to invoke) the American promise. Vice President Walter Mondale, who introduced Begin to the luncheon as a warrior for peace, told reporters earlier that the Arab states have not threatened to reduce oil supplies to the U.S. as a result ot the Egyptian-Israeli , peace treaty.

President Carter Js confident that Arab terrorism and violence in response to the signing of the Egyptian-is- raeli peace treaty will only be "transient in nature" and that the rest of the Arab world will soon see the benefits of joining the peace process. In an exclusive interview in the Oval Office this week,, the President voiced optimism that the treaty signed by Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin would demonstrate a genuine interrelationship among both peoples. "Open borders, free trade, the exchange of students and tourists, the establishment of diplomatic relations, the appointment of ambassadors—all these can make permanent what has been achieved thus far," he said. President Carter is of the opinion that many people in Jordan and Syria genuinely want peace with Israel— "just as the Egyptians do"— but he conceded that it might take some time before that came about.
