WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Middle East Studies
Group of the Brookings In-
stitution has recommended
"a comprehensive settle-
ment" of the Arab-Israeli
conflict based upon "a nego-
tiated and agreed trade-off
between the Israeli require-
ments for peace and secu-
rity and the Arab require-
ments for evacuation of the
territories occupied in 1967
and Palestinian self-deter-
mination."
The 23-page report re-
leased by the 16-member
study group called for a gen-
eral peace conference "or
more informal multi-lateral
meetings" to be convened
soon with "participation of
credible Palestinian repre-
sentatives" but not neces-
sarily the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization.
The recommendations did

devoted to research, educa-
tion and publications in eco-
nomics, government and
foreign policy. Its reports
are given considerable
weight by governmental
leaders.
The recommendations
call for a start soon to the
process of negotiating an
"integrated package" that
should "at least" contain
elements for a phased
withdrawal by Israel in
"agreed stages" to its
June 5, 1967 lines "with
only such modifications as
are mutually accepted."
The Arab parties would
be required "not only to end
such hostile actions against
Israel as armed incursions,
blockades, boycotts and
propaganda attacks but also
to give evidence of progress
toward the development of
normal international and
regional political and eco-
nomic relations."
The report said it would
be "desirable" that the
United Nations Security
Council endorse the peace
agreements and that the
U.S. "must be prepared" to
offer "aid and providing
guarantees" besided assist-
ing the parties "economi-
cally and militarily."
In that connection, the
report said the U.S. "should
work with the USSR to the
degree that Soviet willing-
ness to play a constructive
role will permit."

not include a specific solu-
tion for the issue of Jerusa-
lem but recommended as
options for Palestinian self-
determination an indepen-
dent state or a Palestinian
entity federated with Jor-
dan.
The report stated,
"Moreover, a peace settle-
ment should include provi-
sions for the resettlement
of those Palestinian refu-
gees desiring to return to
whatever new Palestinian
entity is created, for rea-
sonable compensation for
property losses for Arab
refugees from Israel and
for Jews formerly resident
in Arab states."
In a foreword to the re-
port, Kermit Gordon, presi-
dent of the Brookings Insti-
tution, noted that "the
conclusions and recommen-
dations?' represent a com-
promise among the views of
the group's members.
The Middle East Studies
Group is chaired by Robert
Heyns of the American
Council of Education and its
co-directors are Charles W.
Yost, former U.S. Ambassa-
dor to the United Nations
and Morroe Berger, of Prin-
ceton University. Other
members include Rita Hau-
ser, Fred Khouri, Philip M.
Klutznick and Nadav Saf-
ran.
The Brookings Institution
is a private organization

pean countries it could wipe
out its $3.6 billion balance of
payments deficit. Each per-
centage point of increased
productivity equals $120
million earned for the na-
tional economy, he said.
The government has an-
nounced the intention to
transfer 100,000 workers
from services to productive
industries over the next four
years.
Meanwhile, stevedores at
volatile Ashdod port earned
as much as IL 3,000, about
$400 one recent Saturday
because of a complex sys-
tem of calculating overtime
that permits a longshore-
man to submit a bill for 300
hours' work during a
24-hour day, according to a
Knesset Labor Committee
report on Ashdod.

ADL Honors Two
in Communications

WASHINGTON — The
Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith this month hon-
ored a publisher and re-
porter.
The honorees are W. H.
(Tex) James, president and
publisher of the New York
Daily News, who was pre-
sented with the First
Amendment Freedoms
Award of the ADL Appeal;
and Philip H. Dougherty,
advertising news columnist
of the New York Times, who
was cited by the advertising,
broadcasting and communi-
cations industries division
of the ADL. Dougherty re-
ceived the ADL Torch of
Liberty Award.

With respect to Palegti-
nian self-determination
the report said "This
might take the form either
of an independent Pales-
tine state accepting the ob-
ligations and commit-
ments of the peace
agreements or of a Palesti-
nian entity voluntarily
federated with Jordan but
exercising extensive politi-
cal autonomy." The report
observed that "Whoever
represents the Palestini-
ans must recognize the
equal right of self-determi-
nation of Israel and Jor-
dan."
With respect to the PLO,
the report took cognizance
of the "disagreement and
uncertainty as to who can
negotiate authoritatively on
behalf of the Palestinians."
It noted that "While the
Arab states at the Rabat
meeting in 1974 accepted
the Palestine Liberation
Organization as represent-
ing the Palestinians, and
many other states have also
done so, its claim is not un-
challenged. Many Jordani-
ans continue to believe Jor-
dan has a better right to this
representation. It is not
clear to what extent the
PLO can negotiate on behalf
of the Palestinians on the
West Bank, in Gaza or in
Jordan, to whom it does not
have ready access.
"The PLO has not recog-
nized Israel's right to exist.
Israel has not recognized
the PLO or agreed to accept
the establishment of a Pa-
lestinian state. Neverthe-
less, it can certainly be said
that a solution to the Pales-
tinian dimension of the con-
flict will require the partici-

credible
of
pation
Palestinian representatives
who are prepared to accept
the existence of Israel."
With respect to the future
status of Jerusalem, the re-
port recommended that
"minimum criteria" include
"unimpeded access to all
holy places," no barriers div-
iding the city and "each na-
tional group within the city
should, if it so desires, have
substantial political auton-
omy within the area where
it predominates."
