gave a letter addressed to
President Nixon to the U.S.
Consulate in which he re-
quested the President to ar-
range for some sort of in-

quarters of the city of Jeru-
salem. Blau left it to Mr.
Nixon to decide which form
of protectorate would be the
most suitable.
In their letter they said,

said she had never before

the Arab states have come to
accept the existence of the
state of Israel, Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger de-
dared at a press conference
here.
At the same time, the time-
hardened Middle East pat-
tern of U.S. and Israel ver-
sus the USSR and the Arabs
was breaking down, he said,
giving way • to "a more corn-
plex relationship," with the
U. S. now debriefing both
sides.
The new Arab attitude,
which encompassed "even
-the more radical states like
Syria," was "an entirely new
experience for Israel, and
it is also difficult and a pain-
ful adjustment for Israel to
see the polarization . . .
changing to a more complex
relationship," Kissinger said.
"I believe that as a result
of this (Nixon) trip and of

way to assure it. This does
