you are a political Sancho
Panza, but please refrain
from making noises like his
steed." -
This had clear implica-
tions for Beigin, who was
obliquely cast in the role of
the famous tilter at wind-
mills in Cervantes' story of
Don Quixote. The opposition
benches exploded in uproar
as Navon, an expert in Span-
ish literature, chided mock-
ingly: "What do you want,
Sancho Panza was a very
sympathetic character . . ."
The Premier said Israel's
positions had been most
clearly stated during the
six-hour Cabinet meeting
and there was therefore "no
room for misunderStand-
ings."
The Cabinet's "positive
attitude" to the Kissinger
mission should be seen in
that light, Rabin said. The
mission was "acceptable
to us," the Premier said,
"because of our real desire
for an agreement, which
would be a blessing for
both Israel and Egypt."
The Cabinet vas careful
to note in its communique
that it gave its approval "to
the position of the minister-
ial team on the issues of an
interim settlement, as it has
been clarified to the goVern-
ment of the United States,
including issues of import-
ance on which agreement
has not yet been reached."
This wording, it was un-
derstood, was meant to un-
derline the fact that there
are questions which still
have to be answered and
that these are not merely
marginal issues.
The
communique's
wording was also meant to
forestall any possibility
that Kissinger would
again blame Israel for
misleading him, as he did
last March when his shut-
tle effort was suspended.
Rabin told the Knesset
that Israel was not suscepti-
ble to dictates. A foundation
of its relationship with the
U.S. was American respect
for its sovereignty and inde-
pendence, he stated.
While not detailing them,
Rabin assured the Knesset
that the terms now under
consideration were substan-
tially better than those
available last March.
It was unjustified to say
the impending agreement
jeopardized Israel's secu-
rity, he said. Security was
based on several compo-
nents, of which territory
was one, weaponry another,
Rabin said.
Israel would "not sign
anything that is not in our
interests," he asserted.
And the agreement would
not be valid unless and
until it obtained Knesset
approval. The last stage of
the talks would be "the
most critical," he warned.
Rabin said he would give a
full and detailed report to
the Knesset and to the
public. Meanwhile, the
Knesset Defense and For-
eign Affairs Committee
was being kept fully in-
formed.
Beigin accused the gov-
ernment of reneging on its
firm pledge — enunciated in
the Knesset by Rabin in and passage will not be sim-

U.S. - Israel Aid Programs
Await Mideast Settlement
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Israel-U.S. bilateral
talks on Israel's request for
$2.8 billion in economic and
military aid, which began
last week have ended.
The State Department
freely acknowledged that
the financial aid hinges on
the political developments.
The economic delegation
returned to Israel and Ar-
non Gafni, who headed the
delegation, said that an un-
derstanding has been
reached on several points
and the scope of the aid.
He said the needs of Is-
rael that will emerge as a
result of the new interim
agreement — such as a
new line of defense in
Sinai — were also dis-
cussed. Gafni refused to
disclose the amount Israel
may get from the U.S.,
noting that the Adminis-
tration and Congress will
have to decide.
Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger said that presi-
dent Ford would send Con-
gress in September a com-
prehensive package of aid
proposed for Israel and for
Arab countries already re-
ceiving American assist-
ance. The package would
take into account additional
aid that Israel might re-
quire because of increased
foreign exchange costs it
would incur after giving up
the Sinai oilfields, he said.
Meanwhile, Newsweek
magazine reported today
that the Ford Administra-
tion plans to ask Congress
for a sweeping resolution on
Israel pledging the nation's
security, supply of U.S.
arms and the inviolability of
Mideast borders.
The proposals, Newsweek
said, would "formally state
for the first time the long-
understood U.S. guarantee
of Israel's security." One
diplomatic source was
quoted by the magazine as
saying "This resolution
could emerge as tantamount
to a bilateral security agree-
ment."
