Schwartz, executive vice-president of the Israel Bond Organization, announced here today. He detailed the plans prior to departing from the international airport this morning for France.
In addition to himself, Dr. Schwartz said, the presiding officers at the parley will be Emile Roche, of the French Committee for the Economic Development of Israel; Dr. Erich Walter Lotz, president of the West German Committee; and Professor A. Mey, president of the Dutch Committee.

Yallon and Dan Avny, of Israel, experts on development plans, on the projects for Israel’s Negev area, and on Israel’s technical assistance programs for newly emerging nations.
