THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Quakers Give Speakers List
for Planned Pro-PLO Parley
WASHINGTON (JTA)
— The American Friends
Service Committee has
listed its speakers for its
conference here Feb.
11-14 which is aimed at
promoting United States
recognition of the Pales-
tine Liberation Organi-
zation.
One of the speakers is
Sabri Jiryis, the PLO rep-
resentative who was or-
dered to leave the U.S.
Nov. 30. The State De-
partment said last week
that Jiryis left the coun-
try and that any applica-
tion to return would have
to be examined in light of
the fact that he listed
false information on his
original visa application.
Among speakers listed
by the Committee in a
brochure • are Max
Ticktin, vice-chairman of
Breira and assistant na-
tional director of Bnai
Brith Hillel, and Arthur
Waskow, of the Institute
for Policy Studies.
Both were among five
Jews who met with Jiryis
and another PLO repre-
sentative in Washington in
November.
Other speakers include
Richard A. Falk, of
Princeton University,
and Prof. Matti Peled, of
Tel Aviv University.

ment of consensus, said
last week it "vigorously
opposes and deplores any
meetings — official or un-
official — with the Pales-
tine Liberation Organi-
zation."
From Beirut it was re-
ported that Syrian Presi-
dent Hafez al-Assad has
assured Yassir Arafat
and other Al Fatah lead-
ers that they may main-
tain leadership positions
in the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization.
In return, Arafat as-
sured both Syria and
Egypt that the PLO would
be cooperative and flexi-
ble in Middle East negotia-
tions expected next year.
Meanwhile, Ugandan
radio reported that Pal-
estinian terrorists will
strike at world targets
next year to avenge the
Israeli rescue at Entebbe.
