kissingeres Maiden IT Speech as U.S.
Secretary of State Draws Israel Praise

UNITED NATIONS (JTA)
—Secretary of State Flenry
A. Kissinger declared here
Monday that the UN recog-
nized its "specific obliga-
tions as a permanent mem-
ber of the Security Council
to assist in the search for
just solutions in those parts
of the world now torn by
strife, such as the Middle
East."
He added, "While we can-
not substitute for the efforts
of those most directly in-
volved, we are prepared to
use our influence to generate
a spirit of accommodation
and to encourage the parties
toward practical progress."
Dr, Kissinger, in his first
speech to the UN General
Assembly since taking office
as secretary of state, also
pledged that "We will never
abandon our allies and our
friends" and that the U.S.
will work for peace "through
the United Nations as well
as through bilateral relation-
ships."
Dr. Kissinger's maiden UN
speech, which opened the
UN's annual debate on world
affairs, was couched largely
in generalities about the state
of the world, the spirit of
U.S. foreign policy and its
attitude toward the UN.
At another point, he said,
with regard to solutions of
major world problems that
"we start from a bedrock of
solid progress." In that con-
nection, he mentioned among
other accomplishments that
"There is a cease fire in the
Middle East."
Israel's Ambassador Yosef
Tekoah called Kissinger's UN
speech "the most impressive
address heard in the General
Assembly for many years. -
A spokesman for the Egypt-
tian delegation declined to
comment on the s p e e c h.
"We'll judge by his actions, -
he said.
Tekoah, replying to report-
ers' questions, said that Is-
rael welcomed Dr. Kissin-
ger's restatement of U.S.
interest in progress toward a
Middle East settlement.
Greater than usual security
precautions surrounded Dr.
Kissinger's appearance at
the UN.
Kissinger drew a friendly
response from the repre-
sentatives of 13 Arab states
and the Arab League who
accepted his invitation to a
luncheon Tuesday afternoon.
The luncheon, which lasted
over two hours and was
closed to the press, was boy-
cotted, however, by five of
the Arab delegations—Syria,
Iraq, Libya, Algeria and
South Yemen.
Kissinger had invited all
18 of the Arab UN members
to attend.
In an exchange of toasts
with his Arab guests, Kissin-
ger said the United States is
ready to assist in the quest
for peace in the Middle East
but cautioned that "none of
the parties should look to the
U. S. for miracles."
Robert McCloskey, former
chief spokesman of the State
Department who served as
liaison to the press, said that
Kissinger by his statement
implied that the U. S. was
not interested in an imposed
solution to the Middle East
conflict. He stressed that
there is no Kissinger pia-
for the Middle East.
Arab participants in the
luncheon said no proposal's
were brought up. Arabs,

His family was present to see Henry Kissinger sworn in as secretary of state
last weekend. He is shown here with the President, at rear, his son David, 12, daugh-

nevertheless,
pleased that one of Kissin-
ger's first official acts as
secretary of state was to
open a dialogue with them.
But they emphasized the oc-
casion's social aspects rather
than any political signifi-
cance.
Arab League Secretary-
General Mohammed Riad, in
his response to Kissinger's
toast, observed that relations
between the U. S. and the
Arabs were traditionally
good until the Arabs con-
cluded that the U. S. sup-
ports Israel. He said that
until Israel withdraws from
all the territories and a solu-
tion is found for the Pales-
tinian question, peace cannot
come to the Middle East.
During a 2V2-hour dinner
Kissinger gave for Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko and Soviet Am-
bassador Anatoly F. Dob-
rynin Monday night, Kissin-
ger said that the prospect for
for a new Soviet-American
trade relationship remains in
doubt because of Moscow's
treatment of Jews.
Sources said harassment
of intellectuals in the Soviet
Union also was discussed.
They said the Russians were
aware of the seriousness of
the American concern, as
well as the official U.S. de-
termination to keep the dis-
cussion private.

With reference to his child-
hood in Nazi Germany, he re-
marked:
"If my origin can contribute
anything to the formulation
of our policy, it is that at an
