Harry Levine

Harry Levine (August 1, 1895 – May 1, 1977) was the Massachusetts President and Chairman of the Board of the U.S. Plastic and Chemical Company. He made major, multifaceted contributions to the creation and development of the State of Israel, related primarily to the facilitation of the construction and import of Uzi submachine guns into then British-Mandated Palestine. He played a central role in the founding of the Weizmann Institute of Science; he provided initiatives for the practical application of science research there, and was a pioneer of a science-based industrial complex in Rehovot, adjacent to the Weizmann Institute, which was the first of its kind in Israel.

A man of great reserve throughout his career, Levine disclaimed public acclaim for his contributions and avoided public disclosure of them during his lifetime. Provided by Wikipedia
