Henry Kissinger Joins Nixon at Meeting With Hussein; 'Preservation Not Expansion,' King's View on Israel
WASHINGTON ( J T A ) —
King Hussein of Jordan met
with President Nixon and
National Security Advisor Dr.
Henry Kissinger for 70 min-
utes at the White 11 o u s e
Tuesday morning. White
House spokesman Gerald
Warren told reporters after-
wards that the "hrust" of
t h e President's discussion
with King Hussein — and of
his forthcoming meeting with
Premier Golda Meir of Is-
rael on March 1 — was the
present state of efforts to
move toward a negotiated
resolution of the Arab-Israeli
problem."
King Hussein was accom-
panied at the White House
meeting by his political ad-
visor, 7ayd Rifai. After his
meeting with the President,
the Jordanian ruler lunched
with Secretary of State Wil-
liam P. Rogers at the State
Department and later held
a working session with Rog-
ers and State Department
Mid East specialists.
Observers here said it was
significant that Dr. Kissinger
participated in the Nixon-
Hussein meeting, inasmuch
as he is still deeply involved
in the Indo-China situation
and was to leave Wednesday
on a visit to Hanoi, Loas,
Thailand and Peking. They
said Kissinger's presence at
the White House meeting in-
dicated that he is becoming
more deeply involved in the
Middle East situation.
Warren told newsmen that
President Nixon and King
Hussein also discussed "Jor-
dan's new economic develop-
ment and military moderniza-
tion programs and U.S. pro-
grams to help them." He said
that "the President assured
King Hussein of firm U.S.
support for Jordan in these
programs and of U.S. interest
in progress toward a negoti-
ated peace in the Middle
East."
King Hussein and his wife
arrived in Washington Mon-
day night and are guests at
Blair House. They were din-
ner guests of President and
Mrs. Nixon at the White
House Tuesday night. The
King's visit to the U.S. is
officially described as a pri-
vate one.
State Department officials
said it was "reasonable" to
assume that nothing new in
terms of diplomatic proposals
were introduced on either
aide at the private meeting
or at the broader gathering.
They refused to comment on
questions relating to Bus-
seta's position on Jerusalem.
They said the Jordanian ruler
spoke for himself and brought
no messages from other Arab
g
meats.
State Department spokes-
man Charles Bray described
the meeting officially as "cor-
dial and wide-ranging discus-
slogs ■■ befit the close rela-
tionship between the U.S. and
Jordan."
"Secretary Rogers assured
King Hussein of our contin-
ued friendship and support
for Jordan," Bray said.
There is no change in Hus-
sein's attitude toward a
diplomatic settlement with
sources
Israel. Diplomatic
concluded that Hussein re-
iterated his position for a
sein's position in this way.
"After all that has happened,
King Hussein wants not 100
per cent of his territory back,
but 120 per cent."
Hussein was regarded by
diplomats as appealing for
sympathy from American
public opinion by asserting
that he wants peace, and war
will not help the Arab coun-
tries against Israel. Hussein
is the only Arab thus far to
recognize that Israel is here
to stay but wants it within
the pre-1967 war lines.
Hussein will undoubtedly
receive economic and mili-
tary aid from the United
States, perhaps even more
than in past years, the
sources said.
A realistic analysis of the
present situation, a source
said, was that unless Egypt
will move into "close prox-
imity" talks towards reopen-
ing the Suez Canal, nothing
can be advanced in the area
for the foreseeable future.
Hussein lunched at the
pentagon Wednesday with
Elliot Richardson, the new
Secretary of Defense. Hussein
and Queen Alia are expected
to leave here Friday for a
stay of two weeks at an un-
disclosed place in Florida.
Concerning Israeli Pre-
mier Golda Meir's visit with
the President at the White
House March 1, a top Middle
East authority said that this
meeting was not one designed
to alter trends or policies
agreed to by the U.S. and
Israel.
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Is-
raeli officials withheld public
comment on King Hussein's
proposal to hold a three-faith
meeting to resolve the prob-
lem of Jerusalem. Privately,
Israelis said that the pro-
posal, aired in an article
Hussein wrote for the Times
of London, represented "no
basic change." A cabinet
spokesman said in reply to
reporters' questions that the
position of the Israel govern-
ment on Jerusalem is "well
known." One sources said
there was "nothing clear"
about Hussein's proposal, im-
plying that the idea would
get bogged down over the
question of who would repre-
sent each faith at the confer-
ence.
Hussein also stated in an
interview with the London
Times that Security Council
Resolution 242 "stripped of
Its secondary provisions . . .
resognizes t w o fundamental
principles as a basis for a
Just solution." One principle
cited by Hussein is that It
calls "for Arab acceptance
of a political fact of life
which we have refused to ad-
mit, and fought to prevent,
for a quarter of a century—
the fact of Israel. The resolu-
tion bids us to reverse this
stand and accept not only the
presence of Israel but an Is-
rael enclosed behind secure
and recognized borders. To
this, Jordan and Egypt have
agreed."
Hussein noted in the same
interview that "the time lag
in converting a resolution
into a working formula for
peace" has led to hijacking
and kidnapping on the part
of the Arabs which he termed
"senseless acts of a frus-
trated, defeated people," and
"annexing a n d desecrating
the old Arab city of Jeru-
salem, coupled with wiping
out
villages and deporting
of the Gaza Strip.
Reiterating an assessment the people of Gaza" on the
of Jordan's views attributed part of Israel which he
to Israel Foreign Minister termed "the calculated acts
Abba Eban, one diplomatic of an arrogant victor."
The Ilashemite ruler
sources summarized II u s •
re-division of Jerusalem and
Israel's withdrawal virtually
to the lines that existed prior
to the Six-Day War and also
for Jordan to take possession
added: "In Arab eyes, one
force still to be put behind
the 1967 resolution (242), pub-
licly and more strongly, is
the influence of the United
States on both Arab and Is-
raeli. The Arab needs to
know that American friend-
ship toward Israel is limited
to its preservation, not to ex-
pansion . . . The Arab needs
to know which borders the
United States is prepared to
guarantee. So does Israel."
In the view of some politi-
cal analysts in the nation's
capital, Hussein's apparent
reasonableness and even-
handedness in dealing with
both the Arabs and Israel
will provide the Administra-
tion with enough diplomatic
food for thought to make Mrs.
Meir's approach to Nixon
seem like "a hard line and
an intransigent attitude."
