A girls' choir sang songs of love for "Arab Jerusalem." A dance team waved scarfs dyed black, white, red and green, the colors of the Palestinian flag. The audience rose for two minutes of silence in memory of the "holy war- riors" who fell.

Officials at the Prime Minister's Office explained that the Pre- mier's adviser on Arab af- fairs took no action because, traditionally, he deals only with Arabs living within Is- rael's pre-1967 borders. Asked by reporters to comment on the political coloration of the conference, Hatib said "We did not in- tend to have any political expressions but I do not re- gret that these took place. This is the way the people express themselves." Aliya Center in Catskills Open operated in conjunction with the Israel Aliya De- partment, the Jewish Agency and the North American Aliya Movement.

Javits noted, however, that other coun- tries could be added to this list or removed depending upon their behavior with respect to international ter- rorism The amendment was co- sponsored by Sens.
