The ministerial committee on Jerusalem has decided to reduce to a minimum the number of government offices outside the capital. This will involve the move of some 5000 government employees and their families to Jerusalem by 1979. About 3700 civil servants working in the Tel Aviv area will be moved to Jerusalem by next August and 1300 others, mostly in the Defense Ministry, will be transferred in 1979. Minister of Agriculture Ariel Sharon said he would transfer his entire ministry to Jerusalem by next summer except for an extension service that will remain at Beit Dagon.
