Premier Menachem Begin would not turn down an opportunity to meet with Republican Presidential front-runner Ronald Reagan if Reagan made on overture during Begin’s U.S. visit. This was clearly indicated to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today by a senior aide in Jerusalem who is close to the Premier.
The aide indicated that there had been some discussion within Begin’s staff on the possibility of a meeting with Reagan. But no arrangements had been made. It was not clear from the aide whether there had been contacts between Jerusalem and Reagan’s campaign headquarters.
