Six Israeli doctors who have been invited to attend a medical congress in the Soviet Union are due to leave here Saturday aboard an Aeroflot plane. The doctors, the first Israeli citizens to attend a congress in the USSR in more than three years, are expected to receive their visas here tomorrow. The doctors said they were treated with “courtesy” at the Soviet Consulate, which apparently had received instructions on how to deal with them.
