Growing Concern in Congress Over JVudear Exports to IMideast By Joaepb PoUkan WASHINGTON, <JTA) Concern in Congreai over tbe adequacy of safeguardi on the nuclear technology and nuterifla the Administration has decided to export to the Middle Eaat manifested ilaelf again when the Senate International Finance Subcommittee opened bearings on the Administration's agreements to supply reactors to Egypt and Israel.
Sen. Adlai E. Stevenaon (D., III.), the subcommittee chairman, pointed out in an opening statement that the question of adequate controls must be examined because "we face tbe poaaibllity of nuclear holocaust, international blackmail and the l>oisoning of the atmosphere." "These are not alarmist views of exaggerated con-
Scientists Say Reactor Not a Menace to Israel JERUSALEM (JTA) Two senior Israeli scientists have indicated in a report to Premier Yitzhak Rabin that the nuclear reactor the United States has offered Egypt does not constitute a menace to Israel. The scientists, Prof. Yisrael Oostrovsky, special advisor to the Premier on nuclear energy, and Shalhevel Freier, director general of Israel's Atomic Energy Committee, were asked by Rabin to study the matter after President Nixon's offer of nuclear knowhow to Egypt last month stirred alarm in Israel. Both scienlisu agreed there was no ihort-term danger to Israel in the 600-megawatt reactor offered Egypt and I that Israel could rely to a
great extent on the guarantees of safeguards and surveillance promised by the Americans that the Egyptians would not use the reactor for other than peaceful purposes. The scientists conceded that the reactor would contribute greatly to Egypt's nuclear capability but said it would have been impassible In any event to prevent such a techtiological development. They rejected claims in some quarters that Egypt did not need a nuclear reactor to generate power because it possesses the Aswan High Dam and considerable oil resources. On the contrary, the scientists said, Egypt would probably need a second reactor to meet Its power needs in the 1980s.
cema," he MM, "They are possibilities which we ignore at our peril." The question, he said, is now the U.S. can pursue the use of nuclear energy essential to man's welfare without risking its use for destruction of life and civilized institutions. Sen. William Proxmire (D., Wise.), appearing as a witness, teslilied that the combination of the nuclear lest by India and the U.S. offers to Egypt and Israel is "morally and militarily ominous." Criticizing the Administration's position on the agreements, as have members in both houses. Proxmire said that the safeguard standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) "may be totally Inadequate." He declared that "Whenever we attempt to gel specifics" from the Administration, "we are told these are matters for negotiation, with the implication that Congress should leave such matters to the Executive." Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D., Wash), alao criticized the Administration, charged IAEA's aafeguards are inadequate and that it lacks the resources to prevent uae of the nuclear materials being exported for destructive devices. Agreements must include inspections to make them "rascal proof", he said.
