He said he thought "this distinction is one that is now recog- nized by Israeli leaders." He said an arrange- ment whereby Israel's "defense capabilities" may extend "beyond the, permanent recognized borders" would be part of an interim agreement that would last "maybe two years, four years, eight years or more." The President made his remarks at a White House press conference in re- sponse to four questions arising from his round of meetings with Israeli Premier Yitzhak. Rabin. They were the most de- tailed indication of his thinking on solutions to the Arab-Israeli conflict he has ever given. Carter stressed, "What Israel would like to have is what we would like to have — a termination of bel- ligerence toward Israel by her neighbors, a recogni- tion of Israel's right to exist, the right to exist in peace, the opening of bor- ders with free trade, tourist travel, cultural ex-. changes between Israel and her neighbors — in other words, a stabiliza tion of the situation in the Middle East without a con- stant threat to Israel's existence by her neighbors." - But, Carter added, "this would involve sub- stantial withdrawal of Is- rael's present control over territories." He said, "Where that withdrawal 'might end, I don't know. I would guess there would be some minor adjust- ments in the 1967 bor- ders, but that still re- mains to be negotiated . . . I think this is going to be a long, tedious process. We are going to mount a major effort in our own government in 1977 to bring the parties to Geneva. Obviously, any agreement has to' be be- tween the parties con- cerned. "We will act as an in- termediary when our good offices will serve ; but I am not trying to pre-dispose our own na- tion's attitude toward what might be the ulti- mate details_ of the agreement." When a reporter appa- rently misunderstood Carter's referen tee to "minor adjustments in the 1967 borders" to mean minor territorial conces- sions by Israel, the Presi- dent corrected him. "I don't think I used the words 'minor withdraw- als.' I think there might be minor adjustments to the pre-1967 borders but that is a matter for Israel and her neighbors to decide between themselves and I believe that we will by, I would say, the middle- of May, know much more clearly the positions of the interested parties." Is- rael's general elections take place May 17. Asked about his use of the phrase "defensible borders" when he greeted Rabin at the White House Monday, Carter replied, "The defensible border phrase, the secure border phrase are obviously just semanatics. I think it's a relatively insignificant CHABAD LUBAVITCH TRIP TO NEW YORK / N • THEN _ *;:' ; • _ - x • The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M.

"Recognized borders have to be mutual. The Arab nations and the Is- raeli nation have to agree on permanent recognized borders where sover- eignty is legal and mutu- ally agreed." Rabin had declared Tuesday that "Defensible boundaries" for Israel do not coincide "in any w with the lines before ti Six-Day War." Rabin said, "I believe defensible boundaries can be interpreted in different ways by different people. For me it allows Israel to defend itself by itself." Answering questions at a crowded news con- ference at Blair House, Rabin said, "Legally, we have a right to negotiate boundaries." He stressed that the only lines that existed in 1949 were those that the Arabs stressed were demarcation lines for military purposes and not necessarily bound- aries that would be reached in a peace ag- reement. He said the 1967 lines "were not defensi- ble." Rabin met with the press following a one- hour meeting in the White House Oval Office with Carter. It was their fourth meeting, and one of two that was un- scheduled. The other was a one hour 'and 45 minute discussion late 'Monday night in the President's private quarters at which only the two leaders were present. White House News Sec- • retary Jody Powell said the meeting Monday night, which was at Car- ter's request and followed the working dinner for Rabin, "covered core- is- sues of the Middle East." Before Monday night's dikner ended, Carter told the 35 guests that he wants to see Israel remain sec- ure for a thousand years and he will do everything in his ability toward that end. Rabin - also told the press conference that there "is no need to add words to Israel's desire for peace and to achieve peace." But, he decried "false solutions" and em- phasized, "We talk of genuine peace — the kind every man in the stre will_ call peace." The Israeli premier stressed that "Only par- ties to the conflict can negotiate, sign and main- tain" an agreement in the Mideast. He said that "we will see what is possible and what is not possible" in regard to reconvening a Geneva conference this year. Noting that Israel has lived for 29 years "in limiting agreements and some times 'without ag- reements," Rabin said "if our neighbors are not ready for real peace" then (Continued on Page 17)
