NEW YORK, (JTA) — President Johnson diselosed this week to a Je<vish audience of 1700 that the United States Gov¬ ernment had started discussions with Israel "on cooperative re¬ search in using nuclear energy to turn salt w.ater into fresh water"
The President made the disclosure in an address to the annual dinner of the American Committee for the "Weizmann
Institute. The audience included some of America's leading figures in industry, science and communal affairs.
Without mentioning the Arab op¬ position to Israel's planned Jordan River diversion for a vast Negev irrigation project, the President said that water should never divide men "it should unite them. Water should never be a cause of war, it should always be a force for peace."
He said he "shares the pride in Israel's achievements" and added he shared in the "warm senti¬ ments" for those achievements of "every American President since Harry Truman." He warned against underestimating the "complexity of all the age-old Middle East ri¬ valries and hostilities" but, in he said, the "basic hope" of the United States for the area were not complex, "a desire tor the day when 'Nation shall not lift up sword again nation nor shall they learn war any more.' "
A highlight of the dinner was the announcement of the creation of a "Living Memorial" to the late President Kennedy and the post¬ humous presentation of an Honor¬ ary Fellowship which was voted to the late President by the Weizmann Institute last November and which he was to have received personally at the dinner. The "Living Mem¬ orial" will be in' the form of 46 John F. Kennedy Fellowships, one for each year ot Mr. Kennedy's life, to be awarded annually to scientists  seeking   to  do   research
