Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir left this morning for a two-week visit to the United States which will include meetings with Nixon administration leaders on “standing economic problems between Israel and the US.” Asked if his discussions would include credits for military purchases, Sapir told newsmen that such arrangements have already been made or are included in the new US budget now before Congress. He said that Israel’s military needs have already been submitted to the US in a memorandum but observed that talks on these matters are in an early stage. “I might be going back to the US for that purpose,” he said.
