A total of $300,000 in Israel bonds was sold at a breakfast this morning at the opening of the Israel pavilion at the United States World Trade Fair, attended by 250 Israel bond leaders. Ambassador Michael Comay, Israel’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, was guest speaker at the event at New York’s Coliseum, which marked the 13th anniversary of Israel’s independence.
Stressing that Israel had "Just as much to do in the next 13 years as it did in the past 13 years, " Ambassador Comay said that "American Jews can have a sense of pride and identity in the task that has been achieved, but must realize that a job still has to be done in the years ahead. "He told the bond leaders that "Israel holds a respected place in the United Nations because it has shown itself to be strong and as able to develop its economy, thanks in large measure to Israel bond investment capital."
