The PLO in seek- ing approval had cited a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for UN agencies to give it observer status. There was no formal vote on the ques- tion. In a related development, the PLO termed as "useless" the Egyptian draft resolu- tion introduced to the Gen- eral Assembly to invite the PLO to take part in the Ge- neva conference on an equal footing. Addressing a luncheon meeting here of the United Nations Correspondents Association, Farouk Kad- doumi, who is the head of the PLO delegation to the General Assembly debate on Palestine, said that the PLO had its own resolu- tion, which calls on the General Assembly to set up a committee to imple- ment the UN resolutions on the Palestinians and urges the suspension of Israel and the imposition of sanctions on the Jewish state. According to Kaddoumi, there are at least 20 spon- sors for this resolution. He also said that the over- whelming majority of the non-aligned countries sup- port the PLO. He reiterated that the PLO does not ac- cept Security Council Reso- lution 242 on which the Ge- neva conference is based.

He declared that "No resolution of the UN Gen- eral Assembly will bind Israel to negotiate with the terrorist organization" and affirmed that Israel's reply to the resolutions "together with the Jewish people throughout the world, will be increasing unity in the effort to rein- force the strength of the state of Israel in the fulfill- ment of its historic tasks." He thanked those nations that voted against the measures. In Rome, the governing conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization gave observer status to the Palestine Liberation Organ- ization. The United States and Israel were the only mem- bers of the 131-nation body attacks in France as "fal- lacious" and has invited France's Jews to show their sentiments by attending a mass meeting at the memo- rial to unknown Jewish martyrs. Nearly all French Jewish organizations have released communiques and appeals to persuade the French gov- ernment to cancel its au- thorization. French official sources told the Jewish Tel- egraphic Agency, however, that "it is completely out of the question for us to rev- erse the decision." Israeli Ambassador to France Asher Ben Natan, said that France's decision "will renew the tension" which has existed between Israel and France. Ben Na- tan said "a certain detente in Franco-Israeli relations has taken place. The French decision (concerning the PLO) is likely to renew ten- sion." Meanwhile, members of Parliament representing a number of partieS met in caucus to assail the govern- ment's decision and asked French President Valero Giscard d'Estaing to recon- sider it.
