Yishayahu Lavie, former general director of the Ministry of Defense, has joined the General Telephone and Electronics Company of USA with the rank of vice president. Lavie, a communications expert, is the former general director of the Posts Ministry and former head of the Armament Development Authority. He returned here Friday from the US, where he finalized his appointment with the giant corporation, which constructed Israel’s recently-completed Missiles Communications Centers, officials reported today.

Lavie reportedly had no dealings with the company while serving in Israel and he said he will abide by the company’s regulations and not deal with its Israeli interests for at least one year while under the employ of GT&E. Lavie’s job will be to coordinate the company’s development of electronic, telecommunications and other sophisticated systems. He is due to leave for the US shortly on a one or two year assignment where he expects to complete a technical book.
