House Approves
ree Trade lone
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
The House approved the
establishment of a free trade
area with Israel by a 416-6
vote last week.
The Senate adopted a similar bill by a 96-0 vote last
week. Differences between
the two bills will have to be
ironed out by a conference
committee but the final
legislation' is expected to be
adopted by Congress before
it adjourns.
House Panels Approve
Embassy Move From
tel Aviv To Jerusalem
WASHINGTON (JTA)-A
resolution urging the United
' States' to move its Embassy
in Israel from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem was approved by
voices .votes in both the
Europe and Middle East and
International Operations
subcommittees of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee
last week.
Opposition to the resolution was expressed only by
Reps. George Crockett (D.
. Mich.), Larry Winn (R.
Kan.) and Ed Zschau (R.
Calif.). The resolution is a
sense of the Senate resolution and does not require the
President's signature. President Reagan has opposed
moving the Embassy at this
time.
A spokesman for Rep.
Tom Lantos (D. Calif.) said
that Lantos and.Rep. Benjamin Gilman (R. NY) were
urging Rep. Dante Fascell
(D. Fla.), chairman of the
full committee, to have the
committee act on the bill
immediately.
The spokesman said it is
hoped that if the House acts,
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee ■ will also move
the bill to the Senate floor.
However, it appeared
unlikely that Congress can
approve the resolution
* before it adjourns.
