Talks Highlight Policy Strengths, Differences

ary of State Henry A. Kis-
singer.
Kissinger went out of his
way to avoid spelling out
America's views or even
its preferences with re-
gard to the terms of a final
peace settlement. Carter
-- seems to have gone out of
his way to make the
American view explicit.
Rabin admitted to Is-
raeli newsmen that "as
an Israeli" he would have
preferred Carter to prop-
ound "different defini-
tions" regarding Israel's
ev ritual borders. But the
P
ier stressed that
6r was the first
Arne- rican President since
1967 to speak of peace in
the terms that Israel
suggests (full peace with
trade, tourism and open
borders).
Moreover, this was the
first time, he said, that
the U.S. had recognized
the need for Israel to
have defensible borders
and had spoken of a dis-
tinction between the
sovereign political bor-
ders and the defense line.
This principle could be
enormously important,
Rabin ! said, in future
.peace talks.
Meanwhile, the Carter
Administration appears
to have put a lid on all but
minimal U.S. discussion
of the Middle East in view
of Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat flatly re,
jecting President Car-
ter's espousal of minor
adjustments in Isfael's
1967 borders, Rabin's
statement that Israel will
not return to the lines
that existed before the
Six-Day War, and the
Palestine Liberation Or-
ganization reaffirmed
that it refuses to alter its
destroy-Israel covenant.
Administration sources
indicated that no official
reaction will emerge on
the Mideast and none is
likely until Carter meets
with Sadat at the White
House April. 4-5.
It was indicated that
the Carter-Sadat meeting
will be played in low key if
the Administration can
help, it, although Sadat
himself will be highly
honored. The low key • on
substantive remarks will
continue, it was indi-
cated, until after Carter

ers of _Lebanon, Sy

evening, the first ques-
tion asked Carter was
about prospects for Mid-
East peace.
said the first pre-
requisite was recognition
of Israel's right to exist —
permanently. He also
said there must be a solu-
tion to the Palestinian
question in terms of a
permanent homeland.
On Sunday, on ABC-
TV's "Issues and
Answers," taped in New
York last Friday, Rabin
was asked whether Israel
would "under any cir-
cumstances, at any time"
return to its pre-1967
borders. The Premier re-
plied: "By no means, no.
The answer is, without
qualification, Israel will
not return to the lines
that existed before the
1967 war."
He pointed out that
"the basic issue at the
present" is not details of
boundaries but whether
the Arab nations are
"ready to make peace
with us." The issue of
peace, he stressed, is the
first issue.
conflict and there can be
no substitute for that."
Following the Rabin
trip, New York Times re-
porter William E. Farrell
wrote that Israel is now
favoring a full Middle
East 1.)a.ce pact rather
than the step-by-step ap-
proach "Israel was ad-
vocating as recently as
last month" during Sec-
retary of State Cyrus
Vance's Mideast trip.
Rabin indicated in an Is-
raeli radio interview that a
tough struggle lay ahead
between Israel and the
U.S. over the borders is-
sue.
Israeli officials told
Farrell that the change
has come about because
Israel agrees with Car-
ter's definition of peace. A
month ago they argued
that high-level talks would
not be successful because
the Arab leaders were too
far apart in their demands.
The President's state-
ment (also) contains un-
equivocal recognition of
Israel's defense needs,
regarding the placement
of Zahal forces and re-
garding security ar-
rangements and early
warning procedures
beyond the political bor-
ders."
However, Rabin stated,
"If any Israelis believed
there was support in the
U.S. — in the past or at
the present for a non-
withdrawal policy, then
they are living in a seri-
ous delusion." The Pre-
mier noted that "Above
all, the President reiter-
ated that the responsibil-
ity and the last word be-
longs to the parties to the
Rabin dismissed news-
paper editorials that said
the Carter definition was
a re-hash of Secretary of
State William Rogers'
plan of 1969. He said the
Rogers plan was an im-
posed solution while Car-
ter was leaving the final
Plan up to the immediate
parties.
During his U.S. visit,
Rabin addressed 1,500
American and Canadian
Jews at an Israel Bond
dinner in Miami and 900
at a United Jewish Ap-
peal meeting in New
York. He called for
American Jews to dedi-
cate themselves to
