Forces (IDF)/Military Intelligence External Relations Department.
2. In my

EXHIBIT 2
4. In
a meeting that took place in December 1982 in Mr. Eitan's office in
the Kirya in Tel Aviv, Israel, Mr. Eitan told me that he had
received earlier that year in the United States, from Mr. Earl W.
Brian and Mr. Robert McFarlane, PROMIS computer software for the
limited use of the IDF's Signals Intelligence Unit for intelligence
purposes only. Mr. Eitan stated on this occasion, and on earlier
occasions as well, that he had special relationships with both Mr.
Brian and Mr. McFarlane.
5. This
meeting took place in the context of a visit by a foreign dignitary.
During a break in the meeting, Mr. Eitan took me aside and gave me
the above facts to relate to my superiors so that Mr. Eitan's office
could take credit for the introduction of the PROMIS computer
software into IDF's Signals Intelligence Unit.
6. I
hereby certify that the facts set forth in this Affidavit are true
and correct to the best of my knowledge.
FURTHER
AFFIANT SAYETH NOT.
