Allon Meetings in Washington Show Concessions WASHINGTON (JTA) — Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon continued his conversations with American political leaders this week after he, President Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger indicated that the negotiating process is both fluid and uncertain on bilat- eral discussions with Egypt or with all of Israel's neigh- bors in combination. Allon met with members he Senate Foreign Rela- s Committee Tuesday and onferred with Secretary of the Treasury. William Simon on Israers financial prob- •ems. "It is too premature to de- cide how when and what," Anon said 'Monday about the negotiating situation after seven hours of talks with the President and the secretary of state. ' "In a reasonable time we will know more," he said. He emphasized the - uncer- tainity of the future course - : by pointing out that he had been making "preliminary inquiries" towards achieving "better progress" in the Mid- dle East and that consequent- ly it is "too early to sum up the chances." Kissinger said that he and Allon had exchanged ideas on ,"the whole range of bi- lateral relationships." From the U.S. point of view,' Kissinger said the GREAT LAKES INVITATIONAL COLLEGE HOCKEY TOURNAMENT FRI., DEC. 27 -- SAT., DEC. 28 DOUBLEHEADER EACH Nei DEC. 27 —6P.M. DEC. 28 — 6P.M.

But he gave no inkling of what fur- ther movement may take place. Kissinger said he was still optimistic for early resump- tion of negotiations. The U.S. is not expected to report the substance of the Allon meeting to the. Egyptian government, nor. is Kissinger 'planning to return to the !Middle East in the near future — certainly not before Soviet leader Leonid ,Brezhnev's visit to Egypt, ,Syria and- Iraq in mid---Janu- ary. However, Allon is sched- uled to return to Washington Jan. 10. This was seen as allowing ., some time for dis- cussions in Jerusalem, Cairo and Washington in the "quiet diplomacy" period sought by Washington and a leveling of some common ground among them before -Brezheny' sees Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in Cairo. In Jerusalem, sources said Allon raised the possibility of a further Israeli pull-back Of up to 50 kilometers in the Sinai in return for commen- surate political 'concessions from Egypt. Alternatively, he reported- ly offered a more modest Is- raeli withdrawal for less significant concessions from Egypt. But Israel will insist that there must be quid pro quo if any further agree- ments ,are to be reached with Cairo and rules out any "linkage" of a second stage disengagement in Sinai to additional Israeli withdrawals on the Golan Heights to satis- fy Syria. Sources here said there have been no indications from Washington that Kissinger would try to persuade Israel to link a Sinai arrangement with a new "token" disen- gagement with Syria. If the secretary broached the sub- ject, 'Allon was to cable home for instrubtions, the, sources -said. Allon, himself, suggested last week that if he and Kis- singer reached a stage in their talks that required a firm and authoritative Israeli decisrdn, he would cable 'home and the Cabinet would convene in a special session to decide. Observers said Allon's aim was to present several pos- sible scenarios that 'Israel could contemplate 'and elicit from the secretary an idea of Egyptian thinking. Officials here say they do not know yet if Allon will be followed to Washington by. Egypt's Foreign Minister Is- mail Fahmi, or if Washing- ton's contacts with Egypt will ,proceed on a lower level. The 50-,kilometer w i t h- drawal offer .would involve the tremendously expensive process of building a new defense line in Sinai east of the key .Mitle Pass which Is- rael would vacate. All vacat- ed areas would have to be demilitarized and put under UN control. The accord would have to state specifically that the arrangements would remain in effect for a substantial period to be negotiated, pos- sibly several years. Egypt would announce its intention to reopen the Suez Canal in connection with the accord with Israel, though not im- mediately-for Israeli ships. The deep withdrawal and new wide buffer z o n e, coupled with the canal open- ing, would be regarded by Israel as a decisive step to- wards the pacification of the area, observers here believe.' A second Israeli proposal involves 'a more modest pull- back,' leaving_ __Israel in con- trol. of the Mitle Pass. Pre- mier Yitzhak Rabin, in his Ha'aretz interview last week, said Israel would 'insist on retaining the pass, and some observers here feel he has envisaged this more modest scenario 'for a settlement. The interview has been ',criticized in both opposition and government circles for its frankness and its "con- cessions:" But sources close to the premier said he did not regret giving it. T h e premier's "conces- sions" and his readiness to consider a "military" accord rather than a "political" one, -and his failure to insist on a declarative renunciation of belligerence by Egypt were less momentous than his critics hi-1ply, observers said. "It has been clear here for months that the initial Israeli demand for 'a formal renun- ciation of 'belligerence—by Egypt ma second-stage par-_ tial settlement was non- productive. Kissinger himself told both -Rabin and Allon that while Egypt rnight possibly agree to aspect's- of a. "political" pact, it could not afford to agree to formally renouncing the state of belligerence while Israel still occupied its. land Israel was also cautioned against labeling the agree- ment 'as "political" when the Rabat summit banned sepa- rate political progress with Israel by any Arab 'state. In Washington, the State Department, responding to reports that the Geneva con- ference on the Middle East may resume 'its 'activities early in the new year, de- clined to indicate when a session may be held. "It is up to the parties to decide when it will be useful to return to Geneva," Depart. ment spokesman Robert An- derson said. "We are per- fectly prepared to return to Geneva when the parties de- cide to do so." The Soviet-American com- munique issued in Vladivos- tok last week after President Ford and Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev had met, called for resumption of the Genea conference as soon as possi- ble.. The United States, eager to continue its step-by-step ne- gotiations in—the area, op- poses a Geneva session until additional bilateral actions are taken. _Israel shares that view. Some surprise was' occa- sioned in the State Depart- ment when it was disclosed that Undersecretary of State Joseph J. Sisco, who has been closely identified with the Middle East for six years, did not attend the meetings with Allon. Sisal, was in Ice- land on other matters.
