Plans for Israel-Jordan cooperation on the exploitation of Jordan River water and in the promotion of tourism to both countries were proposed here today by Moshe Dayan, a member of Ben-Gurion’s Israel Workers faction of the Knesset, Israel’s Parliament, and a former Chief of Staff and Minister of Agriculture.

Addressing a public meeting here, Mr. Dayan said that a peace agreement with Jordan could include provision for access by that country to a Mediterranean seaport in Israel. Two weeks ago Mr. Dayan said that a long-term solution to Middle East problems might be a confederation comprising Israel and Jordan which would leave Israel with freedom of decision in questions of immigration, defense and foreign affairs but solving all other problems in common.
