A delegation of 19 Jewish leaders active in the sale of Israel Bonds in the United States will leave for Israel on August 22 “to examine at first hand economic developments in Israel made possible with the investment of American dollars,” it was announced today by Rudolf G. Sonneborn, president of the American Financial and Development Corporation for Israel, the organization carrying responsibility for the Israel Bond Issue in this country.
All aspects of financial, industrial, agricultural and economic growth will be studied during the 15-day stay, the announcement said. Consultations with Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, Finance Minister Levi Eshkol, Labor Minister Golda Myerson, Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett, and Commerce and Industry Minister Dov Joseph have been arranged.
