Dole Lashes Carter Policies NEW ORLEANS (JTA) — Sen. Robert Dole (R- Kan.), a potential Presidential candidate in next year's elections, char- acterized the Carter Ad- ministration's Middle East policy as an "international dead end." Addressing the opening session of the Zionist Organization of America's National Executive Com- mittee meeting here Satur- day night, Dole said "We stand dangerously close to a Mideast policy that threatens the very integrity of Israel. As long as America is at the mercy of the Arab oil producers, Is- rael is at dagger's point." The Senator, President Ford's running mate in the 1976 election, said "The first tenet of American pol- icy towards the Palestinian question should be to refute the notion that the Pales- tine Liberation Organiza- THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS tion represents the Palesti- nian people. "Just as Israel should not be expected to right the historic wrongs of the Arabs towards their Palestinian brethren, neither should Israel negotiate with terrorists who openly proclaim their objective — the de- struction of the state of Israel." Dole suggested accepting the late UN Secretary Gen- eral Dag Hammarskjold's policy in 1959 for Arab lands to absorb Arab refu- gees, "the cost of such reset- tlement to be paid for by oil revenues."
