United States Under Secretary of Labor John F. Henning, concluding a 10-day private visit to Israel as a guest of Histadrut, the Israel Federation of Labor, said here today that he would like the United States to “adopt the Israeli Histadrut model of deep concern for health services, housing and keeping high the dignity of agricultural workers.”

Mr, Henning said “The United States can benefit from Israeli experience” and hailed the achievements of Histadrut in the public health and agricultural fields. Describing his impression of Israel on this visit, his second in three years, Mr. Hennig said Israel retained “its exciting momentum and dynamic social society.”
