Direct Talks Vital
to M.E. Peace, Five
Governors Declare
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Five U.S.
governors declared here that they
believed the quest for a lasting
peace in the Middle East "must in-
clude direct negotiations between
the principal parties."
The governors, who wound up a
week-long visit to Israel, said in a
statement summing up their ex-
periences here that "Our convic-
tion that people can live together
if they can sit at the same table
together stems from our experi-
ence as a people made up of
diverse elements who came to
America from all over the world."
The governlars are James A.
Rhodes of Ohio; Frank Lichee(
Rhode Island; Claude R. Kirk
Jr., of Florida; Frank L. Farrar,
of South Dakota; and Calvin L.
Rampton, of Utah. They said
they would report on their Is-
raeli visit to the National Gov-
ernors Conference.
Their statement said in part:
"After a week's visit to Israel we
are convinced that the government
and the people of this historic land
desire peace above all other
things . . . We have talked with
many civilians, both Jewish and
Arab. We have seen and talked
with officers and men of the high-
ly respected Israeli armed forces.
We are particularly and deeply
impressed with the spirit of devo-
tion of Israel's ydung people. We
have seen an economy which is
resolutely being geared to peace-
full progress despite the fact that
it must also support an adequate
defense effort. . . We have come
to deeply admire the Israelis and
what they have accomplished in
their new nation in such a short
time."
The governors agreed that the
fundamental issue in American-
Israel relations was that Israel
was America's friend. They told
newsmen that "America is Israel's
best friend and President Nixon
is a good friend of your country."
