Holland May Come to Jews' Aid
Prime Minister Golda Meir convened a cabinet meeting to study Holland possibly replacing Austria as a transit hub for Soviet Jewish emigrants bound for Israel. Meir, returning from Vienna where talks with Bruno Kreisky failed to keep Schoenau Castle open, noted Dutch willingness as a gesture beyond its immigration role. Kreisky called the camp an absolute security risk amid Arab concerns, while Sadat sent thanks to Kreisky for his action.
