Mrs. Meir to Visit Nixon in July

WASHINGTON (JTA)—Gideon

Rafael, director - general of the
Israel Foreign Ministry, met here
last weekend with White House
and State Department officials for
an exchange of views on the cur-
rent Mid East situation following
the Soviet reply to U.S. peace pro-
posals. His discussions precede the
forthcoming visit to Washington
of Israel Premier Golda Meir.
(Mrs. Meir will visit July 27 and
stay for .10 days, diplomatic
sources said Tuesday in Jerusa-!
lent. She will be the personal guest
of President Nixon.)
The content of the talks were not
disclosed. They were described as '
an exchange of views on current
topics. Rafael met with Henry Kis-
singer, President Nixon's top ad-
viser on foreign affairs. A number
of State Department officials, in-
cluding Undersecretary of State
Elliot Richardson and Joseph Sis-
co, assistant secretary for Near
Eastern affairs, tendered a dinner
in his honor. The diplomat also
met with Richard Palmer, assis-
tant secretary of international or
ganization affairs, and discussed
United Nations matters.
Mrs. 'Heir's long rumored visit
to Washington was confirmed by
President Nixon at his press
conference last week. He said
he had met with King Hussein
and added. "I am hoping to
meet sometime within the next
month with the prime minister
of Israel."
He added that the U.S. intends

U.S. proposals have been made
public. But the U.S. was believ-
ed to have asked Russia and its
Arab allies to accept four
points: Peace should be restored
through a single "package" ac-
cord, not in phases; the accord
must be "contractual" among
the parties concerned and not ,
imposed from the outside; fu-
ture frontiers must agree upon

by the parties themselves and
not defined by the Big Powers:

Cairo reports last week indicat-
ed that President Nasser categori-
cally rejected these terms. The
Soviet response to Washington re-
portedly conveyed his objections
with little indication that a way
around them could be found. Nev-
ertheless, according to State De-
partment officals, it was clear that
both Moscow and Cairo want to
keep the Big Four talks going.
(The semi-official Cario news-
paper Al Ahram reported last
week that Gromyko had given
President Nasser the "final say"
on whether the Soviet Union
should continue taking part in bi-
lateral talks between the Soviet
ambassador to the U.S., Anatoly
F. Dobrynin, and Sisco. They have
been going on concurrently with
the Big Four talks in New York
and are regarded by observers to

to have "bilateral talks, multi-
lateral talks and whatever talks
are possible" in order to find a
Mid East solution.
The President was asked to com-
ment on developments in the Mid
East since his remarks five
months ago that the Arab-Israeli
situation was explosive and nec•I
ed "defusing." lie said he saw
very little defusing since then
but thought that things might he
somewhat better because of the
Big Four talks. He also thought
that some measure of agreement
might he obtained from all parties.
including Russia.
But prospects of Soviet agree-
ment to U.S. peace proposaLs ap-
peared dim. Administration offi-
cials conceded "disappointment"
over the Soviet response to a U.S.
statement of principles submitted
May 26. The Soviet reply was re-
ceived by Secretary of State Wil-
liam P. Rogers June 17 following
Cairo consultations between Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromy-
ko and President Gamal Abdei

be the more consequential of the

two.

(According to Al Ahram, Col.
Nasser approved continued dis-
cussions with the understanding
that Egypt woud never yield on
three points — no direct talks with
Israel, no territorial concessions
and no settlement of the Palestine
refugee problem without the refu-
gees' consent.)

State Department officials char-

acterized the Soviet response as

a carefully worded "holding oper-

ation." They gathered that Russia
wanted neither to break off inter-
national attempts to find a solu-
tion to the conflict nor to indicate
any narrowing of the gap between
Israel and the Arab states.
