As part of the aid package, Kissinger also asked the committee to provide $750 million in aid to the Saigon government. When Kissinger reached the section of his prepared statement concerning Vietnam, several young people in the back of the room shouted a protest. "Make a decision for life, not death," a young woman shouted, and a young Washington, D.C.

Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger said Friday that the United States had ftRreed to discuss future American military assistance to Israel on a Ioiir-term rather than yearly basis. This was the first official acknowledgment that the United States as an apparent concession to Israel in the aftermath of the Syrian-Israeli troop disengagement agreement had consented to a long-sought Israeli request to put American military sales and aid on multiyear terms. Kissinger, testifying behalf of the administra "VJL Jm A SZTr.

Five or six young persons were involved. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, who was acting as chairman, banged his gavel and said the roorn would be cleared if the disturbances continued.

When the protests persisted, he declared that "this meeting will be conducted with decorum and dignity or not at all," and ordered guards to clear the room. But when one young woman fell to the floor as she was being escorted out, Sen. Hubert Humphrey, told the capitol police to "take it easy, take your time." Humphrey also asked television cameramen not to film the incident. Camera crews, reporters and Kissinger aides were permit-tr-d to remain in the room. Kissinger noted that the total Vietnam aid for the year was approximately equal to the amount spent in cne month at the height of the U.S.

involvement. "South Vietnam has assumed the direct responsibility for their own defense. We owe the Vietnamese people the chance toKucceed," he said. He also urged approval of $472.5 million in military and economic aid for Cambodia, and a $142 million aid package for Laos. He said that by Aug.

1 the administration plans to submit to Congress a five-year projection showing a declining need for U.S. aid in Indochina. He was asked by Sen. Clifford Case, about some of the unpublished aspects of the Syrian-Israeli agreement and in particular why the committee had not yet been told about an American commitment to maintain its military aid to Israel on a more consistent basis. "We agreed on a process for a rnultiyear arms program for Israel rather than do it on a year-by-year basis," Kissinger said.

He stressed that the agreement was only on the "process" and not on a specific program itself. 4 He said that when detailed decisions were taken, the committee would be consulted. In the same package, the administration was seeking $207 million in grants and credits for Jordan, $250 million in economic aid to Egypt, and $100 million in a "special re-quirement fund" from which Syria could be eligible once the Golan Heights disengagement was carried out. Daniel Cohn-Bendit, who carried the sobriquet "Danny the Red" while leading the student uprising that nearly brought down the French government in 1968, is seeking admittance back into France. He has been living in West Germany since being expelled shortly after the uprising.

Cohn-Bendit, whose nickname was based on his hair color as well as his politics, has made his plea in a letter to new President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, whose first policy statement last week favored greater personal freedoms in France.

Former Kirov ballet stars Valery and Galina Panov have been given official permission to emigrate to Israel, Soviet sources said Friday. They said the couple, which has fought for two years for such permission, would be given visas and would be free to leave. The Panovs could not be reached immediately for confirmation.

The offer came after British Prime Minister Harold Wilson urged the Soviet government to allow the dancers to emigrate. But the sources said the decision was made several days before the Wilson request and added that it had not been made because of cutside pressure. Soviet authorities told Panov last year that he could leave the Soviet Union but without his wife, because of alleged objections from her mother. He refused to leave his wife, who is expecting their first child. The Panovs were dismissed from the Kirov company because of their emigration request.

Panov, 35, the former lead character dancer of the Leningrad Ballet Company, said late last month that he had been summoned to the visa office and stripped of his title of "Honored Artist of the Soviet Union." He and his wife have been hounded by officials since they applied for permission to emigrate to Israel in March 1972. Panov has been jailed twice during that period.

Iskandr Nabra Yazagi, declared that Israeli POWs were treated with "every possible care," but that Israel inflicted torture on its prisoners through wrong or insufficient medical treatment. Israel has denied earlier claims of mistreatment and said the Arab prisoners were handled better than required by international law.

They also said they suffered solitary confinement in small cells for up to three weeks during periods of intense interrogation. fortifications of potential military use.

Sources said the withdrawal probably would be completed ahead of schedule, and noted that the Golan area is more compact than the Suez front, which took weeks to evacuate after last January's truce there. Correspondents on the Golan Heights reported an Israeli pullback as early as Wednesday. But the statement by an Israeli command spokesman that the disengagement process was under way was the first official confirmation that the operational plan signed in Geneva two days ago was being put into effect on the battleground. Israeli prisoners who returned from Syria Thursday told of abuse during their captivity. They reported beatings with rubber hoses during interrogation, inadequate food and medical care, and being kept for days with sacks over their heads and hands bound.
