Josef Almogi, Minister of Development and Housing of the State of Israel, who arrived in the United States two days ago for a tour of major American cities in behalf of the Israel bond drive, reported today that Israel’s exports for the first five months of 1963 were $179,000,000, as compared with $137,800,000 during the same period of 1962.
