Mrs. Meir Clarifies Israel's Reservations on Negotiations JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier Golda Meir told the Knesset Wed- nesday that the Israeli reserva- tions over the United States peace initiative did not include a priori conditions for negotiations. She said "some of the positions held by the Israeli government" were deemed by Israel "proper to em- phasize on the threshold of pos- sible talks with the Arab states," but that those positions "tally with the government's program and its resolutions, as approved by the Knesset."
