Settlement projects in the Golan Heights are making rapid progress it was indicated here today. The Jewish National Fund is preparing about 8,000 acres of land in the Syrian border region occupied during the Six-Day War for the nine Nahal (paramilitary-agricultural) settlements already established there and four more to be set up shortly. Yesterday, members of the Knesset (Parliament) foreign affairs and security committee toured the Heights. They saw completed sections of the 10-mil road being built by the JNF to the southern peak of Mount Hermon which has become a favorite spot for skiing and other winter sports during the past year.
