Israel needs a great flow of capital, investment dollars, to reach its economic goals, Philip Klutznick, president of the American and world B’nai B’rith organizations, declared here today prior to leaving Israel. With this capital, he said, “a people eager to work” will achieve its goals.
Mr. Klutznick, who during his extensive visit participated in the inauguration of a number of B’nai B’rith projects in this country, said that his organization had taken a goal of selling $7,500,000 in Israel bonds and that he would urge that this goal be exceeded. The organization has already sold $5,000,000 in bonds, he reported.
