Israel intends to ask the United States for $2.9 billion in aid for the 1982 fiscal year, it was learned here Sunday. Ephraim Evron, Israel’s Ambassador to Washington, will submit this request to U.S. Secretary of State Edmund Muskie. Of this total, $1.8 billion is for military aid and the remainder for economic aid. The request is expected to be presented to Muskie in about three weeks when Finance Minister Yigal Hurwitz is scheduled to visit the United States.
