"President Carter's name
will be recorded in his-

Dayan also praised Egyp-
tian President Anwar Sadat
"for his vision and faith." He
said that Sadat's 'visit to
Jerusalem last November
turned a new page and
"ushered in an historic

tween Egypt and Israel." He
also- said that Premier
Menahem Begin's "courage
and leadership were a deci-
sive factor" in the positive
new developments in the
Mideast. Without Begin's
"readiness and ability to as-
sume responsibility for very
painful decisions, the
achievements reached at
Camp David would not have
been conceivable."
-When Dayan reached the
podium to Begin his ad-
dress, many Arab and Afri-
can delegates walked out of
the Assembly chamber. But
the Egyptian Ambassador,
Ahmed Meguid, remained
conspicuously at his seat
throughout the speech.
- Dayan warned against
the escalation of arms pur-
chases by the Mideast coun-
tries, charging that the
Arab states alone bought
arms amounting to $11 bil-
lion since the beginning of
1977. "Indeed, over the past
five years, the arms agree-
ments signed by these
states have - outstripped
both NATO and the War-
saw Pact countries in the
ratio of their ants buildup,"
he said. He declared Israel's
readiness to enter into an

East.
During his 30-minute
speech Dayan urged the
Soviet Union to allow
Jewish culture to be ex-
pressed freely _in the
USSR. He said-that Israel
welcomes the recent in-
crease in the number of
exit visas issued to Soviet
Jews. But, he noted, a
great number of Jews are
still denied permission to
leave. He expressed con-
cern over the plight of
Soviet Jewry, particu-
larly those who had been
sentenced recently to
prison terms or internal
exile.
"We cannot be silenced in
the face of the rising incite=
ment and defamation
against the state of Israel
and the Jewish people, its
religion, culture and na-
tional movement as man-
ifested day after day in the
official Soviet media,"
Dayan declared. "These
anti-Semitic attacks, un-
precented in their intensity
may have more dangerous
consequences."
After his -address, Dayan
met with Secretary General
Kurt Waldheim for 40 min-
utes to discuss the general
Middle East situation and
recent developments in
Lebanon. Dayan did not dis-
cuss the situation in Leba-
non in his speech.
Meanwhile, Defense
Minister Ezer Weizman
urged Israelis to be more
aware and less blase regard-
ing the cataclysmic change
in their lives that was now
at hand once a peace treaty
with Egypt is signed.
Weizman spoke at Ben-

Gurion Airport Monday
morning before leaving for
the U.S. where he joined
Dayan for the treaty talks.
Over the past 10
months, Weizman said,
there had been "come-
thing of a devaluation" in
the strength of feelings
here in Israel about the
chance for peace, the first
in decades of intermittent
wars. "We should all feel
that we have before us
now the possibility of a
change in our style of life
with Egypt," Weizman
urged.
He tended to doube Egyp-
tian estimates that the
Washington talks could be
concluded in only two or
three weeks, but affirmed
that Israel for its part would
make every effort to con-
clude the talks successfully.
Listing the main issues
confronting thepegotiators,
the Weizman mentioned se-
curity arrangements as the
primary subject. He said Is-
raelis should not speak of
retreat" from • Sinai, since
retreat was a term of war.
Rather the prospect was for
a "redeployment," Weizman
said.
Israel and Egypt would
also have to define and re-
duce to paper their inten-
tion to establish full peace
and normalization, Weiz-
man continued.
Other issues would be:
visas, customs "ar-
rangements, health and
hygiene arrangements,
tourism and agricultural
projects.
He stressed that the in-
to ntion was to have "an
0 pen border" between Israel
a nd Egypt. He said he hoped

The Egyptian delegation,
headed by Acting Foreign
Minister Boutros Ghali,
also left for the U.S. Mon-
day. President Anwar Sadat
briefed his negotiating
team but declined to make a
statement to the press af-
terwards. Other Egyptian
officials were reported to
have said that an Israeli-
Egyptian peace treaty must
be' linked to long-range Is-
raeli commitments on the
future of the West Bank and
Gaza Stripand resolution of
the Palestinian question.
According to reports from
Cairo, the Egyptians say -
the U.S. will have to take
care of certiain "loop holes"
in the Camp David Accords,
notably the different in-
terpretations of President
Carter and Bgin over the
duration of the Israeli freeze
on settlements on the West
Bank.
President Carter met
with Dayan on Tuesday to
discuss Israel's Jerusalem
and West Bank roles. Car-
ter opened the negotiations
Thursday with ceremonies
at Blair House.
As Israel and Egypt pre-
pared for their peace talks,
the major issued in the Mid-
dle East was the situation in
Lebanon where an uneasy
cease-fire has been in effect
since Saturday between Sy-
rian forces and Lebanese
Christians in Beirut. A
resolution calling for a
cease-fire was unanimously
approved by the United Na-
tions Security Council Fri-
day night at a meeting
which lasted four minutes,
one of the shortest on re-
cord. It came after several
days of intensive diplomatic
activity in which the U.S;
took the lead, aimed at end-
ing the fighting.
