CAIRO (JTA) —
President Carter gave his
personal commitment
Saturday to bring the Pales-
tinians into the negotia-
tions with Israel and at-
tacked those opposing the
initiatives for an Egyptian-
- Israeli peace.
In his address to the
Egyptian Parliament Car-
ter declared, We are ready
to work with any who are
willing to talk peace," in-
cluding "representative
Palestinians."
He was applauded when
he spoke of the Palesti-
nians, but his reference to
an Arab peace effort with
Israel was heard in silence.

Anwar Sadat from reach-
ing a peace treaty with
Israel, Western dip-
lomats said here last Fri-
day.
"Sadat has gone too far for
him to turn back now from
his de facto alliance with
America and the West," a
diplomat well seasoned in
Egyptian affairs said.
"Even if he stopped
negotiations completely
today with America he
would never be acceptable
again in the Arab circles
that are cursing him now."
Novick, Weicker Hit U.S. Policy
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The American Jewish
community "must re-
evaluate its attitude on the
direction of American
foreigh policy" and must re-
assess the role American
Jews play "in shaping the
destiny of the United
States, the future of the
Jewish people and the fate
of Israel," Ivan - Novick,
president of the Zionist
Organization of America,
told the ZOA national
executive committee meet-
ing in Washington last
week.
Sen. Lowell Weicker (R-
Conn.) urged the U.S. to
move its embassy from Tel
Aviv to Jerusalem.
Weicker, who has an-

the Republican nomination
for President, said that

The Senator scored
U.S. policy for being "at-
tuned to acquiring oil in
the coinage of a
weakened Israeli secu-
rity." He added that "no
honorable foreign policy
can be achieved in a
prone position which, as
to the Arabs, is where the
U.S. is today."

What the leaders do say is
