Weizman Meets with Carter

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Israeli Defense Minister
Ezer Weizman met pri-
vately with President Car-
ter for a half-hour in the
White House Tuesday af-
ternoon and told reporters
afterwards that he had "met
an old friend who took
courageous decisions."
That was his response to a
flood of questions as to
whether he and Carter had
discussed the aborted
American hostage rescue
attempt in Iran last week.
Weizman said they had not
and declined to comment
further. He observed, how-
- ever, "It is not fair to go into
analyzirigAtn extremely dif-
fkult situation."
Asked if Israel had a sec-
ondary role in the American
action, he replied, "abso-
lutely no." He gave the
same answer when asked
whether he himself had
known about the rescue at-
tempt before-hand.
Weizman said he and
the President had dis-
cussed the future of the
Israeli - Egyptian -
American eace process.
He also disclosed that he
was returning to Tel Aviv
sooner than planned be-
cause his counterpart,
Egyptian defense Minis-
ter Kamal Hassan Ali, ar-
rived in israel on Wed-
nesday for the next round
of autonomy talks which
began in Herzliya Thurs-
day. With respect to the
peace process, Weizman
would say only that "I
would like to see it expe-

dited."
Earlier Tuesday, the Ig-
raeli defense chief conferred
at the Pentagon with De-
fense Secretary Harold
Brown and U.S. Chief-of-
Staff Gen. David Jones.
Asked if he had discussed
Israeli co-production rights
for the U.S. F-18 combat
aircraft, Weizman replied
in the negative. He said that
he and Brown discussed
"things already in the
pipeline" and added, "I
didn't come to the Pentagon
with problem's."
Weizman also met with
Secretary of State Cyrus
Vance on Vance's final day
in office.
Before coming to Wash-
ington, Weizman flew to
Minneapolis where he was
honored by the Jewish Na-
tional Fund of America.
