There is no need to write to Israel for getting the paper.
Shamir gave a talk at Crypto 86, held in Santa Barbara, CA in
August 1986.
The extended abstract was included in the book of abstracts handed out
at the conference, so just find somebody who has been there.
(I wasn't there, but my colleagues were.)
This fact make the story even stranger; apparently they want to
keep something secret that is in fact already public.

For me Outerbridge's last sentence is the most important one.
