M.E. Envoy Linowitz to Meet Sadat, Begin
(Continued from Page 1)
Department have re-
peatedly said that Israeli
civilian settlements in the
occupied Arab territories
are "illegal." Linowitz
Said, "My approach, my
understanding is that Is-
rael maintains some set-
tlements that are neces-
sary for its security" and
"that is demonstrable."
But, he added, he also
"understands" that "Israel
was going beyond that" and
Israel has to recognize that
when its policy isU not de-
monstrable to its security it
has an effect "on the ongo-
ing negotiations between
Egypt and Israel." He said
his "understanding" is that

the "unlimited prolifera-
tion" of settlements on the
West Bank and Gaza.
Asked if the 32 new set-
tlements proposed by the
government of Premier
Begin was regarded as "pro-
liferation," Linowitz re-
plied, "I don't know."
The new envoy said, "The
world is not giving atten-
tion" to the "great contribu-
tion to the peace process"
that Israel is making by re-
turning the Sinai oilfields to
Egypt. He characterized
that as a "tremendous un-
dertaking," noting that Is-
rael was "giving up energy
at this particular time" but
"Israel did not get the credit
Israel was entitled to get."
World attention was
focused on the settle-
ments and the Shaka
case, he observed, while
"giving up the oilfields
was a dramatic action by
Israel" in keeping with its
commitments.
Asked if he thought drop-
ping the expulsion order
against Shaka was a "posit-
ive development," Linowitz
replied, "It is indeed." He
said that Vance was in
touch with Begin about the
effects the expulsion of
Shaka would have on the
autonomy talks and on
other factors and events in
the region. The restoration

of Mayor Shaka to office
"removes this disruptive
element from the negotia-
tions and therefore char-
acterizes it as a positive de-
velopment," he said.
Linowitz emphasized that
in his new assignment "My
role is to deal with the au-
tonomy issue." He said he
hoped to meet with King
Hussein of Jordan when
"convenient" for Hussein
but "not specifically on this
trip." He said he has not met
with any Palestinian Arabs
in Washington in connec-
tion with his new duties and
he does not expect to meet
with any on his forthcoming
trip.
Linowitz disclosed that he
was first offered the post of
special ambassador the the
Middle East by Vance be-
fore the Camp David con-
ference in September 1978.
He said he turned it down at
the time because he felt a
summit conference was es-
sential before he could be ef-
fective. Now that the way
has been cleared for a solu-
tion of the Palestinian prob-
lem on the West Bank, he
feels that there is "a chance"
for a settlement.
He expressed "hope"
that the autonomy talks
will conclude with suc-
cess by May 1, the dead-
line set by the Israeli-
Egyptian peace treaty.
Linowitz added, how-
ever, that "develop-
ments" may not permit
success by that date.
"The most important part
is to have ongoing
momentum toward a set-
tlement," he said. Asked
if he had an outline for a
solution to the Palesti-
nian problem, he said, "I
have a commitment and
aspiration."
Linowitz also disclosed
that President Carter had
declined to discuss the new
political assignment for his
predecessor, Robert
Strauss, until he, Linowitz,
accepted the job of special
ambassador. Strauss has
since been appointed man-
ager of the President's re-
election campaign.
Linowitz said that in dis-
cussing his assignment
with the President, he had
noted that both he and

MEXICO CITY (JTA) —
Mrs. Ophira Navon, wife of
President Yitzhak Navon of
Israel, attended a special
conference in AcapUlco re-
cently, in connection with
the International Year of
the Child. The conference
was also attended by the
wives of presidents of many
Asian, African and Latin
American countries.
She proposed the creation
in Mexico City of an asylum
for children of war victims.
Her suggestion was well re-
ceived by the other dele-
gates, many of them from
countries that have no dip-
lomatic relations with Is-
rael.

Strauss are Jewish. He re-
ported that the President
told him that he had
"thought it over carefully
and that he did not think it
would be a problem."
Linowitz, who is 65, has
been a diplomatic trouble-
shooter for several
presidents. Most recently he
negotiated the Panama
Canal Treaty.
