overseas, was made in the
context of a further remark
by the undersecretary that
"we also believe that in or-
der to achieve any kind of
durable peace the legitimate
interests of the Palestinians
have to be taken into ac-
count."
When Valeriani suggested
on the "Today" show that the
undersecretary's USIA re-
marks "seem to go further
than you've ever gone be-
fore" toward recognition of
the PLO, and that he seemed
"to be preparing the ground-
work for bringing, the PLO
into the negotiations," Sisco
replied, "No, I don't think
that's the case. Again, I've
got to underscore that our
position remains unchanged."
He said that he was "really
trying to state a fact as con-
ceived by the Arabs, that the
Arabs do conceive of the PLO
is the umbrella organiza-
tion."
A high level State Depart-
ment source told newsmen
privately that "the whole
thrust of the interview with
the USIA was not in that di-
rection," meaning recogni-
tion of the PLO. He stressed
that the interview "does not
change American policy."
The Sisco interview for
overseas distribution was
made at the request of the
State Department to the
USIA. According to law, the
State Department provides
guidance to the information
agency. Normally,, USIA ma-
terial is subjected to formal
review before it is sent over-
seas. It has I not been deter-
mined whether the Sisco in-
terview will be provided with
an Arabic soundtrack.

Common Market Nations Deliberate
Resolution for Palestine Sovereignty
By YITZHAK RABI
UNITED NATIONS (JTA)
— Consultations continued
among the nine member na-
tions of the European Com•
mon Market on an Arab-
sponsored resolution calling
for independence and sov-
ereignty for the Palestine
people and their right to re-
turn to their homes and prop-
erty.
The ommission of any ref-
erence to the future status
of Israel in the draft, or to
Security Council Resolution
242 which since 1967 has been
considered here to be the
basis of any future Mideast
peace settlement, has caused
considerable concern among
the West European delega-
tions.
The draft, whicp has the
support of the non-aligned
bloc as well as• the Arabs,
was unofficially circulated
several days ago. The U.S.
delegation has not yet been
presented with a copy but it
is aware of its contents. The
strategy of the Arab states
apparently; is to gain West
European support for the
draft before approaching the
U.S. ,
The European nation's have
indicated that they could not
vote for a document that ex-
plicitly calls for the dismem-
berment of Israel. But if that
intention is deliberately left
vague or implicit, some Euro-
pean states might vote for the
resolution or at least abstain,
some observers here said.
The Arab delegations have
made no secret of the fact
that they are out to garner
the largest possible majority
for the Palestine resolution.
Their goal was reported to
be 120 but of the 138 General
Assembly votes. PLO spokes-
man, Shafik Al-Hout, said
that the Arabs wanted a very
strong pro-Palestine resolu-
tion but were prepared to
modify it to obtain a larger
majority.
A spokesman for the Bri-
tish delegation said the reso-
lution's proposals have been
transmitted to London for
study but otherwise declined
to comment on it.
He confirmed, however,
that consultations are contin-
uing with a view that Israel's
continued territorial sov-
ereignty and integrity must
be included in the resolution
and also reference to Resolu-
ton 242:
Meanwhile, Egypt was ex-
pected to sound a voice of
relative moderation in the
Arab camp, but proclaimed
allout support for the Pales-
tinian demands.
The Egyptian Foreign Min-
ister, Mohammed Samih An-
war, told the General Assem-
bly Tuesday that his country
believet the Palestinians may
resort to "all means" to ob-
tain and defend their rights.
Diplomats Battle Biased President
of United Nations General Assembly
By MURRAY ZUCKOFF
UNITED NATIONS (JTA)
— There is growing concern
here in some quarters that
Israel has been set up for a
diplomatic "kill" in the Gen-
eral Assembly by the political
"hit man" for the Arab-
Asian - nonaligned-Communist
bloc in the world body, As-
- semibly President Abdelaziz
Bouteflika who is also Al-
geria's foreign minister.
The concern followed an
unprecedented move in the
UN's 29-year history when
Bouteflika last Thursday,
k supported by an assembly
tk, vote of 75-23 with 18 absten-
tions, moved to prevent Is-
raeli An;lbassador Yosef Te-
koah from the right to speak
again during the remainder
of the debate on t/te Pales-
tine issue except for the
standard and nominal 10-
minute right to reply at the
end of each day and at the
discretion of the assembly's
president.
Tekoah received word early
Thursday after his name had
been placed on the speakers
list for that day that Boute-
flika had removed his name
without any explanation. The
Israeli diplomat protested
to Secretary General Kurt
Waldheim about this arbi-
trary move.
Shortly after Tekoah held a
press conference where he
disclosed the removal of his
name from the speakers list
and charged that this was
another attempt by Route-
flika to "muzzle Israel's free-
dom to speak," he was told
that his name had been re-
placed on the list for Thurs-
day's session through the in-
tervention of Assistant Sec-
retary for the General As-
sembly Bradford Morse.
Aside from dealing a crip-
pling blow to the very nature
of the UN, the action is also
seen as a dangerous prece-
dent that may also lead to
further limitations and ab-
rogations of the right to
speak as well as exclusions
from the assembly of coun-
tries whose views may not
be to the liking of the Arab-
Asian - nonaligned - Corn-
munist bloc.
Another concern is the in-
ordinate and arbitrary power
that Bouteflika accorded to
himself, a power that may
later be used by other assem-
bly presidents for whom a
precedent has been establish-
ed. Throughout the UN's
history there has been an un-
derstanding that the assem-
bly president will eschew po-
litical remarks and remain
neutral.
But Bouteflika has violated
this understanding at almost
every crucial turn of assem-
bly developments since he
was installed in his position
at the beginning of the cur-

will not be shown in Israel.
Distribution depends on re-
quests from the USIA mis-
sions in each country. There
was no indication today
whether the USIA office in
Tel Aviv has been informed
of the interview.
Shafik Al-Hout, the chief
spokesman for the PLO at
the UN, vowed that the PLO
will continue its attacks un-
til Israel agrees to negotiate
with the PLO.
This statement, in an inter-
view on the "Today" Show,
came 24 hours after four ter-
rorists murdered four civil-
ians in Beisan and after Al-
Hout said the day before that
this latest terrorist assault is
the "kind of negotiations we
accept."
In defense of the Beisan
attack he also said that Is-
rael had stated it would meet
the Palestinans only on the
battlefield. "So we meet
them on the battlefield," he
said.
Al-Hout has been promot-
ing the view that all the
Palestinans want, including
the PLO, is the return of
land and property to "those
who were driven off -their
land by the Zionist-imperial-
ists," and that the state of
Israel must be replaced by
a "democratic secular"
state.
Reporters who have tried
to get him to discuss the
future status of Israel's in-
tegrity as a nation and the
fate of the Jewish people
have been given evasive re-
plies.
However, his views were
made clear when he and five
other representatives of ter-
rorist organizations partici-
pated in a symposium March
20, 1970, that was organized
by the editorial board of the

rent assembly session in mid-
September, with the blessings
of the anti•Israel bloc.
The political "hit man"
. again displayed his bias when
he arbitrarily ruled, and then
maneuvered to exclude South
Africa. It was Bouteflika,
again, who arbitrarily extend-
ed the protocol to Arafat nor-
mally reserved for heads of
states or governments by ar-
ranging for theterrorist lead-
er to be escorted into the as-
sembly hall and to the po-
dium by the UN chief of
protocol, Sinan Korle.
It was also Bouteflika who
postponed the opening ses-
sion of the assembly debate
on the Palestine issue for 90
minutes to assure that Arafat
would be the only speaker at
the morning session, a cour-
tesy extended only to heads
of states.
Outraged at this, the Israeli
delegation protested by boy-
cotting the morning session.
And it was also pouteflika
who introduced the terrorist
leader as the chairman of the
PLO executive and the "com-
mander in chief of the Pales-
tine revolution."
