Here's an inseparable trio that
mier Golda Meir indicated
on her return from Washing-
ton that certain questions re-
mained unanswered on both
sides during her three days
of talks with President Nixon,
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger and other U.S. of-
ficials. She said she could
not answer reporters' sub-
stantive questions before re-
porting to the cabinet.
Mrs. Meir had very warm
words for American Jews.
"While in Washington, hun-
dreds of Jews, community
leaders, came over, and I
told them that while during
difficult days and nights I
could hold- myself together
when seeing that electric
spark that passed through me
from these Jews to Israel,"
she said.

we shall somehow overcome
if times will be difficult."

Mrs. Meir Says Certain
Questions Remained
Unanswered During Talks
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Pre-
MICHIGAN
353-1300
(Before her departure from
Washington late Sunday, Mrs.
Meir said: "I left the White
House with the conviction
that the friendship between
the United States and Israel
remained as it was and we
have no doubt about that.")
Premier Meir spent the
last hours of her stay here
at meetings at the Israeli
Embassy with Ambassador
Simha Dinitz and embassy
officials and the advisers who
accompanied her from Israel.
A report in a Beirut news-
paper to the effect that a
plan under discussion in
Washington called for an Is-
raeli withdrawal from all of
Sinai and part of the Golan
Heights in return for Egypt-
ian and Syrian recognition of
Israel elicited no indications
of credibility in diplomatic
circles here.
Mrs. Meir breakfasted at
Blair House last Friday with
14 senators to whom she in-
dicated serious concern with
the feelings of Israeli troops
over the supplying of Egypt's
encircled 3rd Army and the
failure of Egypt to agree to
a prisoner of war exchange.
Sen. Charles Percy (R.Ill.)
told reporters after the meet-
ing that Mrs. Meir had
spoken at length about the
3rd Army in the cease fire
context.
Sen. Edward Kennedy (D.-
Mass.) said that Mrs. Meir
emphasized Israel's willing-
ness to negotiate. Sen. Stuart
Symington (R.-Mo.) t o 1 d
newsmen that he felt it is up
to the U.S. and the Soviet
Union to help solve the Mid-
east issues.
Wednesday's special Knes-
set session which was to hear
premier Meir's report on her
visit to Washington, has been
postponed until Monday.
Mrs. Meir met with Likud
opposition leaders Menahem
Begin and Elimelech Rimalt
Tuesday and persuaded them
to agree to the postponement.
The premier is said to feel
it is better to delay her re-
port until after Kissinger
completed his current round
of visits to Arab capitals.
Kissinger was in Cairo Tues-
day.
Observers here believe that
reports emanating f r o m
Washington of continuing dif-
ferences between the U.S.
and Israel over cease-fire
problems are more or less
accurate.
Mrs. Meir appears to have
stood firm against U.S. pro-
posals for further Israeli
concessions on the encircled
Egyptian 3rd Army before
Egypt reciprocates by ex-
changing prisoners of war
and lifting its blockade of
the straits of Bab el Mandeb,
sources here said.
However, JTA learned that
Israel is not closing the door
on some sort of over-all deal
which would embrace all
these problems simultane-
ously — though no satisfac-
tory idea seems to have been
proposed so far. Kissinger's
talks in Cairo this week are
viewed here as especially
important.
In Paris, Israeli Foreign
Minister Abba Ebaii said that
Israel has no intention of
yielding to American pres-
sure on all aspects of the
forthcoming Middle East
negotiations.
In an exclusive interview
with the Europe Number One
Radio Station here, Eban
said Israel would not sys-
tematically refuse all U.S.
suggestions, but that on the
other hand, "we will not
accept all American pro-
posals."
Eban conceded, however,
that Israel had yielded to
American pressure to re-
s u pp l y the Egyptian 3rd
Army. American pressure in
this regard, he said, had
been "decisive." He rejected
the idea that the cease fire
had been imposed on Israel.
Eban was in Bucharest for
a visit at the invitation of
Romanian foreign minister,
Georgio Macovescu.
Political observers here
agreed that the Romanian in-
vitation, delivered by their
ambassador, Johan Covacz,
is an attempt to exert that
country's influence on both
parties in the Middle East
conflict. It is expected here
that Arab diplomats will be
invited to Bucharest after
Eban's visit.
Bucharest is believed to be
interested in playing a role
of mediator in the ,Middle
East conflict, and Israel is
expected to give serious con-
sideration to any serious
mediation offers, but only as
an early step aimed toward
getting the parties into face-
to-face negotiations.
One informed source said
that the Romanian in-
vitation was a Communist
attempt to show that com-
munications between Russia
and Israel do not necessarily
go via Washington.
In Washirigton the week of
intense diplomatic dicussions
by the U.S. with Israel.
Egypt and Syria left signs
that all four nations were
deeply involved in discus-
sions that took on a tinge of
optimism. After the second
late night session between
Mrs. Meir and Kissinger at
Blair Hotise, the Israeli em-
bassy press officer, Mad
Ranon, in a rare direct
quote, declared that the dis-
cussions were "friendly and
constructive."
Syrian D e put y Foreign
Minister Mohammed Zach-
aria Ismail, following his
meeting with Kissinger Fri-
day evening, returned to
Damascus after inviting Kis-
singer to visit the Syrian
capital to continue discus-
sions. But in view of the sec-
retary's set travel plans
timetable, the State Depart-
ment indicated that Assistant
Secretary of State for Near
Eastern Affairs Joseph J.
Sisco would visit Damascus.
Egyptian Foreign Minister
Ismail Fahmi remained in
Washington three days longer
than he had planned.
Meanwhile, UN Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim is
asking the Security Council
to approve plans for a rein-
forced observer force that
would include 36 Russian
military men and 36 Ameri-
cans. If the plan is approved,
Russian soldiers would join
the observer corps for the
first time in its 25-year his-
tory.
Waldheim said the UN has
run out of operating funds
and urgently needs $30,000,-
000 in advances from mem-
bers to pay for the emer-
gency force for the next six
months.

AIPAC Urges Senate
to Approve Military Aid
WASHINGTON—I. L.
Kenen, chairman of the
American Israel Public Af-
fairs Committee, urged the
Senate to approve the admin-
istration's $2,200,000,000 re-
quest for emergency military
assistance to Israel in testi-
mony before the Senate Sub-
committee on foreign opera-
tions of the Committee on
Appropriations.
Kenen emphasized that Is-
rael has always had to pay
for the weapons she received
from the U.S. and other sup-
pliers. Israel has never re-
ceived military grant assist-
ance, although the U.S.
granted $55,000,000,000 in
military assistance through-
out the world between 1946
and 1972, including $324,-
000,000 in assistance and
training to nine Arab states.
Kenen said the X2,200,000,-
000 appropriation for military
grant assistance "is essen-
tial, not only to ensure Is-
rael's survival, but also to
preserve the balance of
strength in the Middle East-
iri the national interest of the
U.S. as well as in the interest
of our NATO allies."
Deputy Secretary of State
Kenneth Rush told the Senate
appropriations subcommittee
that approval of a Nixon ad-
ministration proposal to pro-
vide Israel with $2,200,000,-
000 in military equipment
would improve prospects for
a Mideast peace agreement.
