toward normalizing relations Soviet leader Mikhail S Gorbachev has given the green light for direct --' flights between the Soviet Union and Israel a senior Israeli official said Saturday The flights will begin within a month said Yossi Ahimeir a spokesman for Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir He said the Soviets did not pro- : 1 retary Bush's diplomatic meetings are in- terspersed around three major speeches he is making in New York Brent Scowcroft the president's national security adviser said Friday that the United States was considering making a new request for action to the United Nations The UN already has adopted eight resolutions condemning Iraq's aggression and imposing trade and economic penalties backed up by naval and air blockades Scowcroft said it was possible the United States might seek action that mentions the military option available under Article 42 which authorizes the use of "all appropriate measures" including force to enforce sanctions Scowcroft said the gulf crisis would be discussed in most of Bush's meetings with leaders Soviets Open Direct Flights to Israel 1 i would be officials from both sides said Bush also urged that Tokyo increase the money it contributes to underwrite the cost of keeping US forces in Japan Kaifu invited Bush to make a state visit to Japan early next year and Bush readily accepted Solomon said the dates still must be worked out Shevardnadze meanwhile made a commitment to involve Soviet forces in any action against Iraq authorized by the United Nations The Soviet official said "we will comply with any decision with any resolution of the Security Council And that would include anything regarding the involvement of the Soviet troops under the flag under the auspices of the United Nations" He made his comments in a taped inter view for broadcast Sunday on NBC News' "Meet the Press" The White House applauded Shevardnadze's comment "If the UN should move in this direction we would of course welcome Soviet participation" said Roman Popadiuk a deputy presidential press sec- 'Exodus of Jews Expected ! 1 support the multinational force in the gulf and to aid the front-lin- e states of Jordan Egypt and

Soviet me- dia The flights would accelerate the exodus of Jews from the Soviet Union to Israel The Jewish state is already straining to accommodate more than 100000 newcomers who have arrived since last year A senior Israeli immigration official however said the number of direct flights would initially be limited to about two per week each way and thus would not immediately have a dramatic effect on the numbers of Soviet immigrants "But hopefully the number of flights will eventually be expanded" said the official speaking on condition of anonymity "We would like to be in a position in which the majority of Soviet Jews can come straight from the Soviet Union It's easier and safer" The immigrants now arrive via European transit points and space is often limited Even before the direct flights agreement was announced estimates said the number of Soviet Jewish immigrants could swell to 1 million by the end of 1992 Ahimeir praised the Soviet step as "a very positive development in the direction of strengthening and intensifying the relations between Israel and the Soviet Union" He said it was another leap toward resuming diplomatic ties "The Soviets themselves have told us that after such a period of improved relations it is very possible that there will be diplomatic relations" he told The Associated Press The Soviet Union cut ties with Is rael after it captured territory of Moscow's Arab allies in the 1967 Middle East war Relations have warmed the past three years in part because Israel is seen by the Soviets as a conduit for Western investment and because Moscow wants to play a role in Middle Eastern diplomacy The Soviet decision to allow direct flights was passed on by Soviet Finance Minister Valentin Pavlov to Israeli Transportation Minister Moshe Katzav in a telephone call on Friday the eve of Yorn Kippur the Jewish Day of Atonement Israel radio re- ported The national airlines of the two countries Aeroflot and El Al signed a direct flights agreement last year but Aeroflot then said it needed approval from Soviet leaders before flights could being Gorbachev held up the deal because he didn't want to anger Arab states protesting the immigration of
