Premier Yitzhak Rabin announced Wednesday night that he had asked the Mapam leadership to meet with him for a “coordination session” before his trip to Washington next month to meet with President Ford.

In view of recent defections from the Labor Party, such as Arye Eliav, Mapam’s warnings appeared to have deep and immediate significance in-Rabin’s view.
