Arrangements are being completed for exchange visits of Parliamentary delegations of Israel and the Soviet Union. Knesset Speaker Josef Sprinzak announced in Parliament tonight.
This action followed adoption of a resolution by the Supreme Soviet proposing the exchange. The resolution, which stressed the mutual benefits accruing from such visits, and expressing the hope that exchanges would be arranged with other countries, was handed to the Israel ambassador in Moscow on Jan. 6 who relayed it to the Israel Foreign Ministry.
