Arthur and Robby Perry added: "It is at least arguable that U.S.-Israeli signals to Moscow, as well My sincere wish for a happy and healthy New as to Damascus, helped con- Year to all my family and all my dear friends vince the Syrians to , with- draw from Jordan.

Dr. Quandt would do well to pay closer atten- tion to -these points when discussing the military bal- ance and U.S. arms sales policy in the Middle East." Discussing his third criticism of. Quandt's views, Perry found "some difficulty reconcil- ing" Quandt's emphasis on the regional, rather than global, determi- nants of the Arab-Israeli conflict," with "Quandt's suggestion that U.S. pol- icy follow the guidelines of the well-known peace plan published by the Brookings Instiiution" which Perry noted Quandt helped to author. "In calling explicitly for Israeli. withdrawal to the June 1967 borders, as well as for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, the Brookings plan re- judges — prior to Arab- Israel negotiations — the territorial concessions re- quired by UN Resolution 242," Perry wrote. "This position, it seems to me, is not likely to inspire Israeli confidence in American peace-making activities." Regarding Churba's "The Politics of Defeat," Perry wrote, Churba "contends that the paramount Ameri- can interest in the Middle East is politico-strategic — namely 'to prevent the area from falling under the domination of the Soviet Union' and being manip- ulated against the West.' " To this, Perry added that Churba's "central thesis is that "Israel has been, and hopefully will remain, an invaluable strategic asset for the U.S., serving as a stable bastion against Soviet influence and provid- ing an alternative, via the Israeli Defense Force, to di- rect American intervention — as in the September 1970 Jordan crisis . . . . "In short, Israel stands as America's only proven and reliable ally in the Middle East, and, in association with Turkey, Iran and — hopefully — a Christian Mixed Results TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Is- rael's Public Opinion Re- search Institute found in a recent poll that 34 percent of the public believed that the government's foreign policy was good or very good, while 39 percent de- scribed it as not good.
