                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Government Trust 3-C:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Government Trust 3-C (the
"Trust") as of December 31, 2000 and the related statements of income, cash
flows and changes in Trust balance for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the management of the Trust. Our
responsibility is to express our opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities that the
Depository was holding as of December 31, 2000 for the account of the Government
of Israel, for the purpose described in Note 4 of the notes to financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Trust at December 31, 2000 and the
results of its operations, cash flows and changes in Trust balance for the year
then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 2000

Note 1. Organization and Operations
        ---------------------------

Government Trust 3-C (the "Trust") is a limited purpose trust established under
the laws of the state of Illinois pursuant to a Declaration of Trust (the
"Declaration") between the Trust and the First National Bank of Chicago, as
Trustee (the "Trustee"). The Trust was created for the sole purpose of the
issuance and sale of a single class of Zero Coupon Certificates (the
"Certificates"). The assets of the Trust consist of a Promissory Note (a "Loan
Note") from the Government of Israel ("Israel"). The Loan Note is backed by a
full faith and credit guaranty (the "Guaranty") issued by the United States of
America, acting through the Defense Security Assistance Agency of the Department
of Defense (the "DSAA"), of the due and punctual payment of 90% of all payments
of principal and interest due on the Loan Note (the "Guaranteed Portion") and a
security interest in certain collateral, consisting of non-callable securities
issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, sufficient to pay the
remaining 10% of all payments of principal and interest due on the Loan Note
(the "Unguaranteed Secured Portion"). The Loan Note and Certificates are not
subject to prepayment or acceleration.

Note 2. Loan Note
        ---------

The Loan Note in the original principal amount of $304,460,946 evidences a loan
made by the Trust to Israel subject to the terms and conditions of a Loan
Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") dated as of August 22, 1989 between the Trust
and Israel. The proceeds from the Loan Note were used to prepay certain loans
made to Israel from the Federal Financing Bank. Semiannual payments of interest
at an annual rate of 8.9549% are due on the Loan Note on each May 3 and November
3 (each a "Note Payment Date"). On the May 3, 2000 and November 3, 2000 Note
Payment Dates, Israel made its scheduled payments of principal on the Loan Note
in the amounts of $405,000 and $405,000, respectively. Scheduled principal
payments are due on each Note Payment Date as follows:

</TABLE>

<PAGE>

The Government of the United States, acting through the DSAA, has agreed to
guarantee the repayment of the Guaranteed Portion due to the Trust under the
Loan Note. Israel has agreed to pledge certain collateral as security for the
repayment of the Unguaranteed Secured Portion, as more fully described in Note
4. The estimated fair value of the Loan Note approximates the fair value of the
Certificates. The estimated fair value of the Certificates at December 31, 2000
was approximately $365 million. The estimate of the fair value of the
Certificates is based upon the present values of the cash flows using
risk-adjusted spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve.

Although management of the Trust is not aware of any factor that would
significantly affect the estimated fair value of the Loan Note or the
Certificates, the Loan Note and the Certificates have not been revalued for
purposes of these financial statements since that date and, therefore, current
estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amount presented
herein.

Note 3. The Zero Coupon Certificates
        ----------------------------

On August 22, 1989, the Trust issued 45 separate series of Certificates, Class
3-C. Twenty-three series of such Certificates matured prior to December 31,
2000. Each of the remaining series of Certificates will mature on one of the
semiannual certificate payment dates from May 15, 2001 to November 15, 2011.
Scheduled distributions are due on the maturity dates as follows:

</TABLE>

Each of the Certificates evidences an undivided fractional interest in the
Trust, and represents the right to receive a portion of the semiannual payments
due on the Loan Note held by the Trust.

Note 4. The Collateral
        --------------

In accordance with the Collateral Depository Agreement (the "Depository
Agreement") between Israel, the Trustee, and Chase Manhattan Bank, as depository
(the "Depository"), and in order to provide security for the payment of the
Unguaranteed Secured Portion, Israel has pledged certain collateral, consisting
of non-callable securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government
(together with the proceeds thereof, the "Collateral"). The Collateral is of
such amounts and has such payment dates as to enable the Trustee to receive on
or immediately prior to each semiannual Certificate Payment Date an amount
sufficient to pay the

Unguaranteed Secured Portion if timely payment on the Loan Note has not been
received by the related Note Payment Date. All of the Collateral was deposited
with the Depository on the date that the loans evidenced by the Loan Note were
made by the Trust to Israel.

Note 5. The Trustee
        -----------

Pursuant to the Declaration the Trustee established a separate trust account for
the Trust. All payments received with respect to the Loan Note, the Guaranty and
any relevant Collateral are deposited in the trust account for the benefit of
the holders of the Certificates after deducting fees of the Trustee and any
additional expenses of the Trust. Any excess funds remaining in the trust
account after the payment of principal on the Certificates will revert to Israel
to the extent such funds were provided by Israel but not needed for the above
purpose.

Note 6. Income Taxes
        ------------

The Trust is classified as a Grantor Trust for tax purposes and will not be
subject to Federal income taxes. Each Certificateholder will be treated for
Federal income tax purposes as the owner of a pro rata undivided fractional
interest in the net assets held by the Trust. The difference between the
financial reporting and income tax bases of the Trust's assets and liabilities
is not significant.
