Allon Border Plan Quietly Official
By AMOS BEN-VERED
JTA Middle East Bureau Chief
JERUSALEM — When Deputy
Prime Minister Yigal Alton re-
cently returned from the United
States and talks with Secretary
of State William P. Rogers, he
was asked by reporters if Rogers
had again outlined his plan for
a peace map between Israel and
Egypt. Alton jokingly replied that
Rogers had said "all everyone is
talking about now is the Alton
Plan, so why discuss other plans?"
Indeed, it appears that the Allen
plan had been the main subject
of discussion between the two
statesmen. For while officially it
does not exist, it is nonetheless
the blueprint for a recognizable
pattern along which permanent
Israeli settlement in the territories
is proceeding.
The plan was first formulated
in 1967. soon after the Six-Day
War Vet when any of the cab-
inet ministers is asked about it.

of the present cabinet are agreed:
there are some who would like
more. And members of the right-
wing Gahal parliamentary opposi-
tion bloc demanded to know, on
Allon's return from the U.S., by
what authority he had presented
his plan to Rogers.
Gahal, it should be remembered,
was part of the government coali-
tion in 1967 when the plan was
first formulated and — according
to official statements — not dis-
cussed in the cabinet.
Alton himself regards his plan
as a general guideline rather than
the basis for a map. The major
points in the plan are:
• The 2,600 square miles of Jor-
danian territory west of the Jordan
River should be divided up in such
a way that Israel would get a 15.
miles•wide security belt along
the entire length of the river. The
remaining two-thirds of the West
Bank could he linked to Jordan,
on condition that it would he de-
