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. 's NBD's DirectPlan for social security ecks.
