But unless one is a workaholic, commuting every week of the year, the real savings are much less.

SB PERHAPS Freddie Laker i TEL AVIV, Sunday. Israel expressed grave fears today about a joint US-Soviet call to make concessions on its Middle East stand. The US-Soviet declaration, which was released in New York yesterday, calls on Israel to allow Palestinian representatives to attend Middle East peace talks.

It also urges Israel to withdraw from territory occupied during the 1967 Middle East war, and to recognise the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. Israeli reaction to the US-Soviet statement was expressed in sharp terms by the acting Prime Minister, Mr Simcha Erlich, who warned that Israel might have to declare a state of emergency and form a new government of national unity to oppose the declaration. Mr Erlich, who presided at the regular weekly Cabinet meeting in the absence of the Prime Minister, Mr Menachem Begin, said Israel could not accept the declaration.

Carroll Smith, showed both drivers an instruction board reading: "Formation finish one and two." Moffat slowed to let Bond catch up and the pair swooped down the final straight line abreast, crossing the line to tumultuous cheers, only a metre apart.

Deserving of high praise The English-language Jordan Times said that the fact that the United States and the Soviet Union had finally got together to issue a joint statement on the Middle East was in itself an act that deserved high praise.

However, the semi-official Cairo newspaper al-Ahram said today that the statement represented a shift in Soviet policy towards the US position. The newspaper's criticism appeared to indicate Egyptian opposition to the joint statement. "The Soviet Union has retreated from its position regarding the representation of the PLO in the Geneva conference. Moscow instead adopted the American wording of Palestinian presence in the conference," the newspaper said.

Senator Withers said the decision to provide the special fleet followed a review of the security of VIPs in Australia over a long period, and strong recommendations of security experts.

In October last year a NSW Labor backbencher, Mr Barry Cohen, asked Mr Fraser if he proposed to sell his Mercedes and replace it with four armour-plated cars at a cost of $50,000 each.
