A new soil research center has been dedicated at Kibbutz Dan in northern Israel in honor of former New York Congressman Herbert Tenzer whose friends sponsored the project. The center will serve settlements through out the region. Mr. Tenzer, an attorney and civic leader, served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1965 to 1968. He was instrumental in initiating and passing major social legislation. The research center was named in recognition of his philanthropy in behalf of various causes in the U.S. and Israel.
