Proposed Menu for the State Dinner in Honor
of Prime Minister and Mrs. Rabin
Unfortunately, when we checked there is no fresh salmon
available. In fact, we are very limited on the selection
of fresh fish. I did not think you would want to use
frozen fish for the entree. Striped bass was by far the
best selection available.
Attached is a proposed menu utilizing the snapper which
was originally on the menu.

TOASTS:
The first toast should be made to
the PRESIDENT OF ISRAEL.
Response will be made in a toast to
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Subsequent toasts, if any, may be made
in declining order of precedence.
NATIONAL ANTHEMS:
It is not recommended that the National
Anthems of the United States and Israel
be played unless the sponsoring organi-
zation is confident that the orchestra
is able to play the Anthems very well.
It is not necessary to play the Anthems
at strictly social functions or at formal
luncheons and dinners, as awkward situ-
ations and inconveniences may result. It
is not the custom in Washing ton to play
National Anthems at State Dinners. When
the Anthems are played, it is customary to
play the anthem of the Visitor's Country
first and the Anthem of the United States
second.
When the flags of the United States and
the Visitor's Country are used, consider
the area where the flags are to be placed
as a stage or a focal point, then place
the flag of the United States on the left
as viewed from the audience, and the flag
of the Visitor's Country on the right.

THE CHIEF OF PROTOCOL
DEPARTMENT OF STATE
WASHINGTON
January 22, 1976
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. FORD
Subject: Official Gift Exchange during the Visit of
His Excellency the Prime Minister of Israel
and Mrs. Rabin, January 27, 1976.
Although we have not been able to determine what
the items will be, we do understand that the Prime
Minister and Mrs. Rabin will be prepared for an official
exchange of gifts. I would like to suggest that the
President present to the Prime Minister a color photo-
graph, taken during one of their meetings in the President's
office, in a Presidential frame with the following inscription:
"To His Excellency Yitzhak Rabin
Prime Minister of Israel
With best wishes,
Gerald R. Ford
January 1976"
And I would suggest that Mrs. Ford present to Mrs. Rabin
a scarf, designed by Frankie Welch for her use.
As the official gift to be presented to the Prime
Minister and Mrs. Rabin, Mr. Malcolm Moran would like to
donate one of his sculptures for your use. The piece that
Mr. Moran has selected depicts an amethyst and bronze boy
with a group of birds in flight. This new sculpture is
12" high and is mounted on a polished redwood base. This
would especially be appropriate since the Prime Minister
and Mrs. Rabin will see his work as centerpieces during
the State Dinner given in their honor.
