Carter Adviser Brzezinski States Middle East Policy

- By WILLIAM SAPHIRE

NEW YORK (JTA)


Prof. Zbigniew Brze-
zinski, foreign- policy ad-
visor to Gov. Jimmy Car-
ter, spoke at length about
America's "intimate" re-
lationship with Israel
which, he said, was not a
partisan issue because it
was deeply rooted in this
country's historical,
moral and strategic in-
terests.

session Tuesday with the

We now have taxation without representation!

Our incumbent "representative":

1. Ushered the "Small
Business Tax through the
House. If you're in busi-
ness it doubled your
taxes! It took dollars
away from Oak Park and
Southfield quality educa-
tion programs.
2. He likes litter! He's
against banning the
throwaway bottles.
3. He supported two Bills
that take scholarships
away from kids who
qualify and gives it to
schools that previously
couldn't qualify competi-
tively.
4. Do you think your
"representatives salary
should be increased from
$19,000 to $25,000?" He
does.

Conference of Presidents
of Major American
Jewish Organizations,
Brzezinski also outlined
his ideas for a "com-
prehensive settlement"
of the Middle East con-
flict and explained how
his approach differed
from that of Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger.
He said he did not think
an imposed solution was a
serious possibility be-
cause it would not stick
and "accomodation" was
far more preferable. He
sharply criticized the
U.S. sale of sophisticated
weaponry to the Arab
states, particularly Saudi
Arabia.
He said the Arabs must
realize that the U.S.-Israel
relationship cannot be
even-handed compared to
the U.S.-Arab relationship
and that he had told this to
Arab leaders.
Brezezinski, a profes-
sor of history at Columbia
University, has been
mentioned as possible na-
tional security advisor or
Secretary of State in a
Carter Administration
should- the Democratic
candidate win the presi-
dency on Tuesday.
He said the U.S.-Israel
relationship rested on
three factors: the role of
the American Jewish
community which is "a
legitimate and impor-
tant" force in building an
understanding among
the American people and
the government of its
"deeply felt concern
about Israel"; the shared
sense of guilt of the
American people for the
destruction of European
Jewry by the Nazis in
World War II; and the
"strategically compli-
mentary" interests of the
U.S. and Israel that the
Soviet Union does not at-
tain "paramouncy" in the
Middle East.
Brzezinski sai4 that
these interests do not
preclude tactical differ-
ences and even occasional
friction between the two
countries. But he said it
was "unwise" for the U.S.
to use pressure "on the
weaker party" to make
concessions that it thinks
would jeopardize its se-
curity and survival.
He said he has told Arab
leaders that the U.S.-
Israel Relationship was an
intimate one based on a
shared historical and
spiritual legacy constantly
strengthened by the polit-

A Different Way

Of Doing Business

DECENCY DIGNITY COMPETENCE

ical actions of American
Jews while U.S.-Arab rela-
tions do not contain any of
those factors. The Arabs
must recognize the "dis-
qualitative distinction"
between the U.S.-Israeli
and U.S.-Arab relations as
"a fact of life" and must
understand that the U.S.
will not abandon Israel be-
cause "to do so would be a
betrayal of ourselves,"
Brzezinski said.
He added that anyone
who told the Arabs
otherwise was deceiving
them. On the other hand,
he said, the intimate
U.S.-Israeli relationship
is not necessarily a bar-
rier to improved U.S.-
Arab relations.
Brzezinski said the re-
cent article by Israeli
Foreign Minister Yigal
Allon in Foreign Affairs
Quarterly was "an indi-
cation of Israel's inclina-
tion to begin to think of
the outline of an eventual
settlement".
He said the develop-
ment of Arab thinking
along those lines "is re-
tarded by the fragility of
the Arab leadership" and
the crisis in Lebanon.
Nevertheless, the
Arabs must "come
around to recognize Is-
rael's legitimate and
permanent place in the
Middle East," he said.
According to Brze-
zinski, the search for a
"comprehensive settle-
ment" in the Middle East
was about to enter the first
stage of what he saw as a
three-stage process. Stage
one, he said would be to
"define the essential prin-
ciples of the structure on
which to build that com-
prehensive settlement."

Allon's article is "one
step" and should be re-
sponded to by the Arabs,
Brzezinski said, adding
that he expected that it
would be.
The second stage, he
said, was negotiations,
including the matter of
who participates in them,
and the third stage would
be the implementation of
the agreements arrived
at through negotiations.
He thought that would
take "a long time."
Brzezinski, said he dif-
fered with Kissinger in
that the Secretary of
State seeks "small steps
toward an indeterminate
future" while his idea is
to determine the shape of
the future settlement and
then take small steps to-
ward it including "fail-
safe options" to build
trust and protect both
sides.
Brzezinski said the
sale of such advanced
weaponry as air-to-ground
missiles to Arab countries,
notably Saudi Arabia, was
"very misguided," "very
unwise" and "highly un-
discerning" of their easy
transfer to a third party.
On the other hand, he said
that the increasing depen-
dency of the Arab states on
the U.S. for weapons and
other items gives this
country "leverage" in the
Arab world.
He noted in that con-
nection that Gov. Carter's
statement that he would
impose a counter-boycott
in the event of a new Arab
oil embargo is only credi-
ble in-the context of Arab
dependence on the U.S.
Such a counter-embargo
would have a strong de-
terrent effect because it

would put the Arab ruling
elite in jeopardy, he said.
He noted that the Arab
world was now in the pro-
cess of revival and
modernization and the
question is will it become
Westernized or radical-
ized. He said both the U.S.
and Israel have shared
interest against the
radicalization of the Arab
world.
Referring to specific
aspects of a Middle East
settlement, Brz-ezinski
said he would prefer a
Palestinian entity linked
to Jordan because it
would be more stable
than a separate state. He
said such an entity would
have to have close rela-
tions with Israel and be
demilitarized.
He said he agreed with
those Israelis who view
Israel's absorption of the
West Bank as counter-
productive and disrup-
tive of Israel society.
Referring to the United
Nations, Brzezinski said
the moral basis of the UN's
involvement in the search
for a Middle East settle-
ment was destroyed by its
resolution condemning
Zionism as racist.
Brzezinski also re-
ferred to the issue of
Soviet Jewry. He said the
USSR must clearly un-
derstand that U.S.-
Soviet relations will be af-
fected by what happens in
the social dimension.
He said that Helsinki
accords give the U.S. the
right to raise the issue of
human rights and immi-
gration rights with the
Russians. He said the
present Administration
was "inadequate" in its
,exploitation of that right.
