Premier Golda Meir will arrive in the United States on July 27 for a week-long visit during which she will meet with President Richard If. Nixon, Secretary of State William P. Rogers and other high ranking American officials, the JTA learned today. There was no official confirmation of the date from the Prime Minister’s office which plans to make the announcement simultaneously with an announcement in Washington. JTA learned however that Mrs. Meir’s program includes a television appearance, a press conference and meetings with American Jewish leaders. She will be accompanied by Dr. Yaacov Herzog, director-general of the Prime Minister’s office, and her newly appointed political secretary, Simcha Dinitz. Mr. Dinitz is presently in Washington where he is terminating his duties as minister in charge of information at the Israel Embassy.
