"...the multi-cornered flow of persons into and out of Israel,
temporarily and permanently, must be viewed in the larger
context of the development and vitality of both Israel and
the Diaspora. The security and welfare of each will be
strengthened as the bonds between them are made closer.
When an Israeli scientist goes abroad to assume a position
