A 17-year-old American-Jewish student, speaking fluent Hebrew, was received formally in Israel’s Knesset (Parliament) here today as the "special Ambassador" from the Senate of the State of Arizona.

The student, Bruce Green, of Phoenix, Arizona, was introduced to the Knesset presidium by Speaker Kaddish Luz; Young Green presented to the Knesset a special scroll from the Arizona Senate, empowering him as "special Ambassador," and expressing Arizona’s "feelings of deep sympathy, admiration and encouragement for Israel, based on common democratic ideals." Green, who is an exchange student from Arizona, had chosen Israel as the place where he preferred to continue his education under the exchange grant.
