WASHINGTON (JTA) —
President Carter, in an ob-
vious effort to reassure Jews
on his stance on israel,
promised last Thursday
night that differences in the
Palestinian autonomy talks
would never affect his
"commitment to a secure Is-
rael." He spoke at the an-
nual convention of the In-
ternational Bnai Brith
which earlier in the day had
heard Republican nominee
Ronald Reagan and John
Anderson, the Illinois Re-
publican running as an in-
dependent.
Carter told the throng of
delegates and guests that
there would not be, during
his administration, "a so-
called 'reassessment' of
support for Israel." This was
a reference to suspension of
U.S. arms delivery and re-
view of U.S. policy after the

collapse of American-
sponsored talks on a second
Sinai accord in March 1975.
Carter said, "There will
not be one policy for an elec-
tion year and another after
the election," adding that
the same policy "that led to
Camp David and an unin-
terrupted supply of eco-
nomic and military aid to
Israel will continue as long
as I am President."
The President re-
frained from comment on
the controversy over the
status of Jerusalem and
other Israeli moves
which have brought
criticism from his Ad-
ministration. Instead, he
stressed his close coop-
eration with Prime
Minister Begin. He said
he had spoken to Begin
by telephone Thursday
morning and had assured
Begin he would join per-
manently in the au-
tonomy talks he an-
nounced earlier and had
been agreed to by Egyp-
tian President Sadat and
Begin.
Reagan declared that Is-
rael and Jordan are The
primary parties for settling
the future of the "unallo-
cated territories" in what
was Palestine and
suggested negotiations be-
tween them to resolve the
West Bank-Gaza Strip prob-
lems.
He also stated that there
should be no more with-
drawal of Israeli troops of
changes in its security posi-
tion "until Jordan and other
neighbors make peace." He
declared, too, that while
President Carter refuses to
brand the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization as a ter-
rorist organization, "I have
no hesitation in doing so."
Departing from the Car-
ter Administration's pur-
suit of an Egyptian-Israeli
autonomy agreement, Re-
agan appeared to side-track
Egypt from ihe settlement
procedure for those areas
and put its basis on United
Nations Security Council
Resolutions 242 and 338.
He said "ambiguities"
in the Camp David
"documents" have re-
sulted in the present
Egyptian-Israeli danger-
ous impasse on West
Bank-Gaza Strip au-
tonomy.
Reagan's strongly pro-
Israel, 3,000-word address
before an overflow audience
of some 1,500 guests, was
punctuated at least 30 times
by applaise, in addition to
three standin ovations
which included an "encore"
suggested by Bnai Brith
President Jack Spitzer.
Reagan charged
President Carter with "un-
dercutting" Israel by his
Mideast policies, including
U.S. abstentions in the
United Nations Security
Council and the sale of mili-
tary hardward to Jordan,
Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and
with having opened the way
for Soviet influence in the
Mideast.
Albert Spiegel, a Los
Angeles attorney, who
heads the coalition for Re-
agan and his Vice
Presidential running mate
George Bush, intoduced Re-
agan as being "pro-Israel
since Israel's creation in
1948."
Anderson criticized
today both Carter and
Reagan for their views on
Israel and the Middle
East and he advised the
Bnai Brith International
convention that "the
heart of the issue is the
value the President at-
taches to Israel."
Anderson said that "sol-
emn promises and commit-
ments" made in an election
campaign "will prove
empty" when the candidate
enters the presidency.
"Commitments given this
election year must be prom-
ises that are kept and you
have a right to demand it,"
he said.
Anderson pledged, "I in-
tend to bring" to the
presidency views that the
U.S. is morally as well as
materially committed to Is-
rael. While hitting at Car-
ter more often than at Re-
agan, Anderson apparently
referred to both when he
said that "before Jewish
audiences, they sidestepped
petro-power politics."
Anderson charged the
President with "lapses of
memory," recalling that
in 1976 Carter decried the
sale of weapons to the
Arab states but is provid-
ing "mountains of arms"
to them now.,Warning his
listeners "not to be taken
in by facile statements,"
Anderson cited Carter's
statement of $10 billion in
aid to Israel during his
Administration. But "you
corrertly can thank" the
U.S. Congress for the
aid." Anderson said.
- Disparaging Reagan's
strong emphasis on Israel's
strategic value, Anderson
said the United States
"must not misuse our gal-
lant ally." Observing that
"there is a moral bond that
buttresses" that strategic
purpose of a strong Israel,
he said, "Let us not make an
error that Regan did on Is-
rael's strategic role."
He said the U.S. should
use Israel's skills and in-
telligence and bases and
facilities in time of emer-
gency but "no one should
think Israeli soldiers"
should be employed "like
the Soviet Union is doing"
with Cuban soldiers.
Israel's Ambassador Ep-
hraim Evron said that the
United States could "stop"
anti-Israel resolutions in
the United Nations Secu-
rity Council but he also
suggested restraing in criti-
cism of the Carter Adminis-
tration POLICY IN THE
Midde East.
Evron attacked UN
"hypocrisy" and, quoting
_Secretary of State Ed-
mund Muskie's own
statement critical of the
resolution on Jerusalem,
said the U.S. "failed to
follwo the logic" of Mus-
kiers statement by al-s-
taining. Evron exprc I
"hope" that the Ca, ,,er
Administration is "seri-
ous" that the "use" of the
Security Council by "the
Arabs and their Soviet
friends should stop." He
said that while the West-
ern powers "cringe be-
fore Arab blackmail" the
"United States has the
power to stop it."
Prime Minister Malcolm
Fraser of Sustrialia, ad-
dressing the convention
Bnai Brith's after receiving
President's Medal for
Humanitarianism, called
for the preservation of
democracy and strengthen-
ing of Western Europe's
support of the United States
against Soviet Expan-
sionism, "particularly" in
the Middle East.
