rael." Speaking to various
proposals for the future of
Jerusalem, including parti-
tion, internationalization
and sovereignty by one na-
tion, J. Kenneth Blackwell,
former Mayor of Cincinnati
and a committee member,
noted, "Access to Jerusalem
may belong to the world, but
the care of Jerusalem be-
longs to Israel."
Brosh stressed not only
unity, but autonomy as
well. "We see that
Jerusalem is a pattern that
proves that coexistence be-
tween Arabs and Jews can
work; the city can remain
united, simultaneously giv-
ing the Arabs every possible
advantage of freedom and
control over their own
lives." Kollek also em-
phasized, "We're not look-
ing for a melting pot."
The committee resolution
supported these views,
recommending that the
local religious communities
within the city be given ex-
tended responsibilities of
self-government and that
this should be legalized. The
mayor has pressed for the
status of boroughs on the
model of London's self-
governing cities, as a means
of offering each distinct sec-
tion as much autonomy as
possible, thereby preserv-
ing the unique nature of the
diverse cultures and tradi-
tions.
Both Arabs and Jews
support the borough idea,
he said, but the Arabs pub-
licly must be careful not to
appear too conciliatory.
"The- threat of terrorism
hangs more over the Arab
than the Jew," explained
Brosh.
Kollek is especially proud
of the five Arab libraries
paid for by the Jerusalem
Foundation and the educa-
tion system which allows
Arab schools to maintain a
Jordanian curriculum. Stu-
dents are prepared to study
in Arab universities if they
wish and obtain high-
paying jobs in the oil-rich
Arab countries.
Mayor Kollek also wishes
to create areas where the
homogeneous entities can
meet, and he is trying to
bridge the physical di-
visions architecturally,
through city planning
strategies. The committee,
which includes such re-
nowned architects as
Buckminster Fuller, Harry
Mayerovitch, Samuel
Mozes and Moshe Safdie,
recommended that such in-
teraction be encouraged
whenever possible in the
commercial, business and
recreation centers of the
city.
The group also recom-
mended the continued inde-
pendence of the holy places,
the vesting of administra-
tive authoritiy over them in
the religious bodies respon-
sible for them, and
enhanced universal access
for all faiths. The committee
indicated its satisfaction
with these measures insti-
tuted by Kollek.
With over a million
Christian, Jewish, and Mos-
lem pilgrims each year to

the 4,000-year-old city, in-
cluding 150,000 Arabs from
countries not recognizing
Israel, this is undoubtedly a
key concern.
Prof. Charles Haar of
Har-ard Law School
recommended that a
thorough documentation of
the degree of autonomy be
made within each living
area, and this should then
be confirmed by law, "so
that there is no feeling that
it could be suddenly swept
away."
