Autonomy Talks Continue With Optimism

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Israel, Egypt and the U.S.
ended their latest round of
autonomy talks on a note of
cautious optimism
engendered by agreement
on procedural matters and
an apparent understanding
between the „parties over
how they will approach sub-
stantive issues as the
negotiations continue.
Ambassador Sol
Linowitz, President Car-
ter's special envoy to the
Middle East, spoke of "sig-
nificant progress" after the
two days of talks at Herzliya
concluded last Friday. But
neither he nor the other
principal particiapnts —
Interior Minister Yosef
Burg, head of the Israeli
negotiating team, and his
Egyptian counterpart,
Prime Minister Mustapha
Khalil — would elaborate.
Linowitz flew to Saudi
Arabia Friday night and
conferred in Riyadh with
Crown Prince Fand and
Foreign Minister Saud al-
Faisal. He flew to Morocco
Saturday for talks with
King Hassah.
Before Linowitz left Is-
rael it was decided that
he, Burg and Khalil will
meet again at the end of
this - month, probably in
Europe, to review the au-
tonomy talks and plan
further progress.
Meanwhile, the Israeli
and Egyptian working
group on the "powers and
responsibilities" of the au-
tonomous authority will
convene in Cairo for further
deliberations. Working
groups dealing with eco-
nomic matters and other is-
sues yet to be defined will
also meet with increasing
frequency.
Acceleration of the au-
tonomy talks, especially on
the working group level,
was announced in a joint
communique and is be-
lieved to have been one of
the main agreements
achieved at Herzliya.
Linowitz told a press con-
ference Friday that it was
"certainly possible" to con-
clude the autonomy talks by
the May 26 deadline but he
"hesitated" to predict that
this would be accomplished.
He indicated that the mode
of the Herzliya talks in
which the three principals
conferred privately and in-
formally was more effective
than elaborate "plenary"
meetings and that this for-
mat would be followed in
the future.
The Israelis seemed
buoyed by the results of
the Herzliya talks. Israeli
sources said Egypt had
implicitly recognized the
break-down-in-principle
of the "powers and re-
sponsibilities" issue into
three groupings: those
that would come under
the autonomous
authority; those that
would be shared; and
those that would remain
in Israel's hands.
The sources said this re-
presented a shift by Egypt,
not overt but implicit in
Khalil's position. They said
it was significant because

when Egypt rejected the Is-
raeli autonomy "model" last
month it.had refused to con-
sider even in principle that
some "residual" powers
would be retained by Israel
after autonomy goes into ef-
fect.
Agreement in principle
on the categorization of
powers will enable the
negotiators to discuss the
issues in detail, the Israeli
sources said. They denied a
report in the Cairo news-
paper Al Ahram that
agreement was reached on a
package of 19 specific pow-
ers to be invested with the

autonomous authority.
The sources said that the
talks had not yet advanced
to that stage.
The Israelis were also
pleased by the marked
improvement in their
personal relationships
with the Egyptians. At a
dinner last Thursday
night, Khalil offered a
toast in which he priased
Premier Menahem Begin
as "a great leader like
Sadat" and said of Burg,
"I love him ... I love
him." This made a power-
ful impression on both
the Israeli and American

Reform Birthright Proposal
Angers Orthodox Leader

ASBURY PARK, N.J.
(JTA) — Rabbi Bernard
Rosensweig, president of
the Rabbinical Council of
America, sharply de-
nounced a recent proposal
by Rabbi Alexander Schin-
dler president of the Union
of American Hebrew Con-
gregations, that Jewish
religious identity be ex-
tended to persons born of a
non-Jewish mother if the
father is Jewish.
Addressing the opening
session the mid-winter con-
ference of the Rabbinical
Council which represents
more than 1,000 Orthodox
rabbis in the U.S. and
Canada, Rosensweig said
these new guidelines pro-
posed by Schindler
"threaten the unity of the
Jewish people and will have
a disastrous and catas-
trophic impact upon world
Jewry."
Rosensweig warned that
"To create a sect of pseudo
Jewg and to introduce such
havoc and confusion into
Jewish ranks is an act of
wanton irresponsibility
which will inflict irrepara-
ble harm upon the Jewish
people."
He observed that "It is
tragic and ironic that Re-
form leaders are seeking
legitimacy and recogni-
tion in Israel precisely at
a time when they are in-
itiating this policy of de-
structiveness.
"Such contempt for
Jewish unity and survival

participants, as the
Egyptian prime minister
obviously spoke with
sincerity.
Israeli sources observed
that it was now inconceiva-
ble that the autonomy talks
would collapse in total fail-
ure.
The joint communique is-
sued after the talks Friday
was non-committal as to
what transpired. It said: "In
order to reach rapid agree-
ment, it is necessary to ac-
celerate the negotiations. It
was therefore agreed that
the working groups on pow-
ers and responsibilities
would meet on an acceler-
ated and intensified
schedule."

Rabbi Conducts Services
for Families of Hostages

WASHINGTON — Rabbi
David Polish conducted a
45-minute interfaith serv-
ice on Tuesday for the
families of the 50 hostages
held in the U.S. embassy in
Teheran. The service was
held at the National
Cathedral.
The gathering was the
last official one for the
families as they wait for a
resolution of the embassy
crisis. Before leaving Wash-
ington, many family mem-
bers met with psychiatrists
provided by the State De-
partment to help the
families cope with the
strain of the four-month-old
crisis.
The Tuesday service was
attended by Secretary of

sharply and to thwart the

Rosensweig said.
