"We have agreed to explore with Israel ways to enhance its growth and development prospects through structural adjustment, increased trade and investment, as well as American aid," Reagan said in a farewell statement in the White House Rose Garden after a two-hour meeting with Peres and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir.

Bill Passed To Aid Holocaust Survivors WASHINGTON (JTA) - The House has approved a bill that would eliminate reparations received from West Germany by Holocaust survivors from the income counted to determine eligibility for Social Security payments. Rep. Henry Waxman (D. Cal.) introduced the legislation after a resident in his district, Felicia Grunfeder, was denied Supplemental Security Income (SSI) be- cause_.her reparation payment from West Germany put her annual income $648 over the eligibility level of $1,752. Peres stresses that the new unity government he heads is "determined to tackle our economic difficulties head on." He added that the "support of the President, the United States government and the American people is source of strength and inspiration to all of us." New U.S.-Israel Harmony Cited The Israeli Premier, who met with Reagan previously as the leader of the Israeli opposition, said that his meetings in Washington left him with the belief that "relations between the United States and Israel have reached a new level of harmony and understanding." He expressed the gratitude of all Israelis to "the President, the Congress, and foremost, the people of the United States for the lasting friendship existing between our two peoples and countries." Peres added that "I found in the White House a true friend of Israel who understands her problems and dilemmas, is aware of her difficulties and follows her " efforts to face them." Reagan earlier said he wanted to pay "special tribute to the leadership qualities" of both Peres and Shamir for having "shown courage and determination to put aside partisan politics joining together in a government of national unity to deal with Israel's most pressing problems." Peres noted that "the government of national unity was formed in the united city of Jerusalem in the spirit of the words of prophet Ezekial who said, "I shall give them an undivided heart and a new spirit.'" He said the new government is "united in our confidence in the United States of America ... in our desire for peace ... in our desire to bring our boys back from Lebanon provided that the security of the northern part of Israel will be guaranteed." Reagan also noted Israel's desire to leave Lebanon "The United States stands (CONTINUED ON PAGE 19) On Tuesday, Oct. 9, President Reagan met with Prime Minister Shimon Peres of Israel in the Oval Office at the White House.

Orthodox Jewish Organizations Express 'Deep Dismay, Concern' About PBS Program On Judaism Five major Orthodox Jewish organizations issued a joint statement last week expressing "deep dismay and concern" on the airing of the Public Broadcasting System presentation "Heritage: Civilization and the Jews," which is being shown throughout the country by over 270 television stations a series of nine weekly programs which began Oct 1. The presidents of the organizations declared that the production commits "intolerable offense against authentic Jewish belief" and called upon the public to be alert to what the declaration termed a "fundamental error in orientation" in the focus of the presentation. Agudath Israel of America, National Council of Young. Israel, Rabbinical Council of America, Religious Zionists of America and the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America declared in the joint pronouncement: "The portrayal in the film of our sacred Torah as a man- authored work incorporating myth and legend, of our faith as a slowly evolved invention, and of G-d-given halacha as a changeable system of law, constitutes a stab at the very heart of Judaism." The Orthodox organizations added that the presentation "meshes opinion with fact in a way that can confuse even the knowledgeable viewer" and warned that the "uninformed and untutored public will be tragically misled."
