A four-year agreement on the export of Israeli cotton products to the United States was signed today following discussions which were held last October in Jerusalem between a United States Government trade mission and Israel officials.
The agreement covers 64 grades of textiles made from cotton. For the first year, starting in October 1963, Israeli exports will be limited to a maximum of 12,500,000 yards with varying ceilings for different products.
