The General Zionist and Herut Parties have each designated three representatives to open negotiations leading to a merger of the two parties, the Jerusalem Post reported here. An invitation to negotiate was extended to the Herut Party by Dr. Peretz Bernstein, president of the General Zionists, after the central committee of his organizations had considered a merger proposal made by Menachem Beigin, the Herat leader.
The General Zionists have named Yosef Saphir and Yosef Serlin, Knesset deputies, and Abraham Krinitzi, mayor of Ramat Gan, to meet with the Herut representatives, Mr. Beigin, Yohannain Bader and Arie Ben Eliezer, the paper reported.
