Joseph O. Zurhellen, Jr. was the replacement for William N. Dale as deputy chief of mission at the American embassy in Tel Aviv. He followed Ambassador Walworth Barbour's cue and was much less interested in Dimona. Zurhellen explained that Barbour was not well versed in technical matters and that the embassy's view was that much of the international concern about Dimona had been deliberately fostered by Israel as "disinformation."1
