A total of 32 foreign experts will be assigned to Israel in 1955 and 39 Israelis will be sent abroad for further study or for assisting foreign states under the United Nations technical assistance program. Dr. Hart Shaaf, resident representative of the UN Technical Assistance Administration, announced here today.
He reported that private firms and undertakings; as well as government bureaus, will be able to secure the services of foreign technicians and experts who come to Israel. Their requests for the services of such personnel will have to be approved by the Ministry which covers the field of the particular expert, he said.
Dr. Shaaf praised Israel for her “expert and exact knowledge” of her needs. He noted that Israel’s requests for foreign technicians are so carefully drawn and categorized that it is possible for the UN technical assistance program to help Israel with ease and also makes the work of the experts more productive.
