Bethlehem and vicinity, Thursday, 15.6.06, AMObservers: Ruth E., Rama Y. (reporting)Ezyon DCL: There are about fifty persons waiting. Like last week,the atmosphere is quite relaxed. At 08:15 an officer begins to distribute numbers. It is done quietly and efficiently. He doesn’t give numbers to under 35-year-olds. Later on he approaches us and tells us about the improvements in the DCL. We ask him about the age limitation. He says that soon younger men, “34 or even 32-year-olds” will be eligible for magnetic cards. The reason for the limitation, according to him, is to shorten the lines. Maybe. A man sitting near by says he will be 35 in four months, some one else says that man under 35 have, too, families to feed; nothing doing. A man, in need of a magnetic card, shows us an official document stating that he has been acquitted in a lawsuit. He presented it in the DCL, a soldier looked at it, than showed it to a female soldier and she ruled that he should come next week, no reason given. He needs the card urgently, so that he can get a work permit. For an hour and a half we kept calling functionaries inside the DCL, in vain, no one was available, and those who did pick up the phone told us to call someone else.
