Our Rome Laboratory Delegation was ably led by Dr. Harold Roth, then head of the Solid-State Sciences Directorate. He learned Hebrew as a boy and had visited Israel with his family before. I also met Brig. Lt. Col. Kemp s home north of Tel Aviv. After he escorted Brig.
Israeli science is indeed world-class.
Israeli scientists visit US and European laboratories and study and teach in our universities. They serve as hosts for reciprocal visits. Israelis own many American small businesses. These international meetings symbolize the global nature of the scientific quest of knowledge and truth, which transcend barriers of nation, culture, tradition, and religion. As a scientist, I participate in a discipline that arose in the West, rather than the East.
