Prime Minister Levi Eshkol received the Vatican envoy, Msgr. Angelo Felici today for discussion of the various proposals regarding the holy places in Jerusalem. Following the meeting, a communique described the talks as marked with “great understanding.” Last night Msgr. Felici met with Foreign Minister Abba S. Eban.
