Addy Cohen Interview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTXr7pUKP9o
An interview with Mr. Addy Cohen, a retired official from Israel's Treasury Ministry, conducted by Ori Rabinowitz, a post-doctoral fellow at Tel Aviv University.
Part of the puzzle about the textile plant cover story is how it came about. While we know that Addy Cohen, the director of the Foreign Aid Office at the Treasury Ministry, used that description when guiding U.S. Ambassador Ogden Reid and some of his staff on a helicopter tour of the Negev in September 1960, the documentary trail has it limits. Cohen, who has just turned 87, and is living outside Tel Aviv, recalls the episode vividly. In a series of written and oral exchanges with the editors of this e-book in recent weeks, he has clarified further what happened.
As a senior official, Cohen was aware of the Dimona project and of its utmost secrecy. The issue of Dimona "was discussed in one of the Treasury Ministry executive meetings under [Minister Levi] Eshkol," he wrote us. The helicopter tour covered various development projects that the U.S. supported, and they were on their way from the Dead Sea. "I was not prepared to Ambassador Reid's question [about the Dimona site] as we flew far north of the structure. I ad libbed by referring to Trostler, the Jerusalemite architect [a relative of Cohen's wife], who actually designed a textile plants" at Dimona.
Surprised by Reid's query, Cohen improvised an answer that was not completely false. In retrospect, as he wrote on March 5, 2015, "It may have transpired that I was the first one who referred to the project as a 'textile plant' but I can assure you that it was not planned."
