than 12,000 Eastern European victims, including 2,000 Jews,

in sharing high technology
knowledge and experience.

future of high technology industries in both New York
State and Israel."

jet fighter planes to Israel,
with deliveries starting, in
, December,"1986. | This is 11
months later than originally
scheduled because of President Reagan's decision to
hold up the sale of the planes
after Israel went into Lebanon last June.
The decision was in the
form of official notification
of the sale to Congress by the
. Department of Defense. Congress has 30 days in:whjch' it
may block the sale, an unlikely event since many in
Congress have been pressing
for months.for the embargo
to be lifted.
When all the planes are delivered, now scheduled for-
. September, 1988, Israel will
have 150 F-16s. The $2.7 billion sale includes support
equipment for the 75 F-16s
and training and maintenance equipment costs for all
150 planes
Difficulties in Way Of Implementing
Israel-Lebanon Pact Cited By Begin
JERUSALEM   (JTA)—Premier  Menachem  Begin
acknowledged last week that there are seyeral difficulties in
:the way of implementing Israel's agreement with Lebanon,
chiefly Syria's refusal to cooperate by agreeing to withdraw
its forces from that country.
But he told the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security
Committee that Israel should not present any ultimatums but
should draw up a scenario in the event Syria remains intransigent.  ' '
Begin's appearance before the committee exposed sharp
differences in the opposition leadership over what course
should be followed. Labor Party chairman Shimon Peres
urged .Israel to set a target date for the pull-out x>f its forces
from Lebanon, regardless of what the Syrians do. Otherwise,
"We shall remain stuck-in the mud of rivalry between the
communities in Lebanon without being able to reach agreement," he warned

agreement.
As a result of Katzir's
visit,  he,  Ohrenstein  and
Tom Field, director of RPI's
Rensselaer Technology
Park, agreed to proceed with
step one in developing an
. agreement. Field and Prof.
Arieh Lavie, chief scientist
of the Israel Ministry, of Industry and Trade and director of the planned Region
2000 high technology center
in the Galilee, will jointly
identify the specific areas in
which the two projects will
share information.

RPI expert in each of these
areas will become part of a
project team that will also
include Katzir, Ohrenstein,
Field and Lavie. JIhe group

between Israel's plans for

in the Galilee that would best
meet the challenges of the
year 2000. This resulted in,
the concept for Region 2000,
which  will  stretch, from
Segev in the south to Maalot
in the north, with Carmiel at
its center.
"We want the jobs available, educational facilities
and feeling of community
responsibility to attract the
best professionals from within and without the country,"
Katzir said of Region 2000.
"The region will have the
most modern technology for
communications', education
and health services, plus advanced industries in which to
earn a living."

Temple Israel Brotherhood
Honors Three Members
rxay yvv**^, *-■*•— „
afld Rabbi Robert Levy were
the honorees for the annual
awards presented by the
Temple Israel Brotherhood
at Brotherhood Sabbath on
April 29.
Ray Wells was named the
"Man of the Year" for his
many years of outstanding
work and service to the
Temple in numerous capacities. Wells was recently in-
. stalled as the new president
of Temple Israel. The "Man
of  the  Year", award  is
presented annually by the
Brotherhood for exemplary
service to the Temple, the
Brotherhood arid the community.
David Zager was the 1983
recipient of  the Leon J,
Uooamaii <no>u    	
presented annually for "in
spiring leadership and unselfish devotion to the cause of
Judaism through . Temple
service." Zager is a member
of the Board of Trustees of
Temple Israel and is a past
president of the Temple Israel Brotherhood.
Rabbi Robert Levy was
the 1983 recipient of the
Allan Tarshish Memorial
Young Leadership Award
which is presented annually
by the Brotherhood to men
aged 40 and under. The
award is in memory of Allan
Robbie Sable
A deputy legal advisor to
the Israeli Foreign Ministry
and a member of the Camp
David and autonomy delegations, "Robbie" Sabel was
reassigned as political
affairs counselor to the embassy in Washington.
Despite the hold on autonomy negotiations, Sabel remains optimistic about their
long-term chances.
"It's frequently ignored
that Israel formally left the
status.. of the area open.
We've said when we come to
the negotiating table we'll
have our position—but we've
also said, 'Let's talk about
it.' Vv-.'-v.-

couraged leadership among eign sovereignty, and I can't
young men in the organiza- see any Arab government
(continued on page 5) accepting the transfer of all,.
of that territory to Israeli
sovereignty.
"This leaves enormous
room in between, and that's
what we'll be negotiating
about," Sabel said during an
interview in : Columbus,
where he spoke to the,Community Relations Committee
and Tzavta, as well as to several journalists.
He does not think the
Begin government's settlement policy for Judea and
Samaria will lead necessarily to a multiplication of
Yamits. There, settlers who
refused to evacuate as the
Sinai was returned to Egypt,
were removed by force. The
town was bulldozed.
"In the future, I think
Jews will be living in the
area. Under what legal system, we have to negotiate,"
Sabel explained.
As part of his job, he is in
almost daily contact with
U.S. State Department officials. He believes at least
some now recognize America "acted unwisely with the
Reagan plan" by not consulting Israel beforehand—as it
did  several  Arab  nations—and by prejudging the
final disposition of Judea,
Samaria and the Gaza Strip.
"The only way is to begin
with autonomy and see how
the Palestinian self-governing council works over the
five-year Camp David transition  period,"  Sabel
asserted.
"I assume the U.S., with
Israel, will go back to Camp
David to try to get the autonomy scheme working," he
added.
