(A staff of 88 technicians and educational experts are employed on various projects in Israel initiated or supported in part by United States Point Four assistance, it was reported in New York by the New York Times in a world-wide survey of the effect of American technical assistance programs in 35 underdeveloped countries. The survey also reported that the Technical Cooperation Administration has spent $3,728,000 on Israeli projects between 1951 and 1953, while Israel matched these funds with some $1,211,000 in local currency.)
American experts are now training Israeli specialists who will operate an agricultural extension service and American engineers are helping Israeli counterparts set up water and milk protective services, sewage disposal systems and other sanitation projects. Among the other projects which U.S. funds and technicians are helping establish or extend, are the expansion of fertilizer, potash, petro-chemical and ceramics plants and mining and processing of ores.
