DEPT. OF STATE POLICE WASHINGTON — The Aug. 3 issue of U.S. News and World Report carried the following assessment about the Reagan Adminis- tration's dealings with Is- rael in recent weeks: "Amid administration ef- forts to negotiate a cease- fire in Lebanon, White House insiders passed the word that every top official but one had come around to the view that Reagan must crack down harder on Is- rael's Begin. The exception: The President himself. "Reagan all along ex- pressed sympathy for Israel as 'a staunch and loyal ally.' The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works. —Augustine JEWISH NATIONAL FUND Comfort GYe, Comfort `Ye, fly' People On this 33rd Anniversary year of Israel's renewed independence, and the 80th Anniversary of Keren Kayemeth Lelsrael, what more appropriate way to mark Tisha B'Av than by affirming our solidarity with the people of Israel by redeeming and developing more of the land of Israel. Tisha B'Av is the occasion for Jews everywhere to recall the destruction of the Holy Temple, that traumatic event which ushered in two millenia of Jewish dispersion and statelessness. It is also a time to give thanks for the miracle of Israel reborn in our lifetime and the restoration of Jewish sovereignty in our historic homeland. MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE JEWISH NATIONAL FUND MORE GENEROUS THIS TISHA b`AV Over the years it has become a proud tradition for synagogues through- out the United States to conduct appeals or other fund raising functions during their Tisha B'Av observances for the Jewish National Fund. This year, more than ever, as Israel faces a critical moment of challenge and opportunity, the members of all congregations will want to join JNF in bringing new life and color to the remaining wastelands of the Jewish State. So, as has been the practice in previous years, we know that the leadership can be counted on to enlist the support and participation of their congregations by conducting appeals tomorrow, on Shab- bat Chazon, (August 8th); before Kinot on Shabbat Evening, (August 8th,) and on Sunday (Tisha B'Av) Morning, (August 9th). It is suggested that those not attending the synagogues on Tisha B'Av will kindly send their contributions directly to the office of the Jewish National Fund.

In a letter to leaders of the House and Senate, Reagan urged members of Congress, as they prepared to go on their summer recess, not to "prejudge" the proposed sale which is expected to be submitted to Congress after Labor Day. "I am aware that infor- mation from a variety of sources has been circulating on Capitol Hill regarding the sale and that many members have been under some pressure to take an early position against it," the letter dated Tuesday said. "I hope that no one will prejudge our proposal before it is presented." The letter was sent to Se- nate Majority Leader How- ard Baker (R-Tenn.), Senate Minority Leader Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), House Speaker Thomas O'Neil (D-Mass.) and House Minor- ity Leader Robert Michel (R-I11.). The White House Deputy Press Secretary Larry Speaks said Reagan sent the letter "to reaffirm" his intention to "proceed with the AWACS" sale. He denied that there was any connection with the visit Wednesday of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. "I am convinced that pro- viding Saudi Arabia with this equipment will im- prove the security of our friends, strengthen our own posture in the region and make it clear to local gov- ernments and to the Soviet leadership that the United States is determined to as- sist in preserving security and stability in southwest Asia," Reagan said. Reagan noted that the Administration had not submitted the package up to now because of the "prior- ity" the Administration has placed on its economic pro- gram and "the necessity of working out a set of under- standings with the Saudi leadership which will ensure that the equipment provided will be employed to our mutual benefit and that the United States technology and systems will be fully protected." Meanwhile, the State Department denied that Israel will share in any of the intelligence informa- tion received from the AWACS reconnaissance planes the United States wants to sell to Saudi Arabia. Department spokesman Dean Fischer said it was "highly unlikely" that De- fense Secretary Caspar Weinberger meant to imply, in a television interview Sunday, that Israel will re- If he could only see how small a vacancy his death would leave, the proud man would think less of the place he occupies in his life-time. —Legouve ceive such information. On ABC-TV's "Issues and Answers" Weinberger said the AWACS sale would be in the overall interest of the Middle East, "specifically including the United States, specifically includ- ing Israel." Fischer said the United States is still discussing with Saudi Arabia how the intelligence received from the AWACS would be used. But Sen. Majority Leader Howard Baker (R-Tenn.), appearing on CBS-TV's "Face the Nation" Sunday, implied the information would be entirely in the hands of the United States. He said that this was being done to satisfy cri- tics of the proposed sale in Congress where a majority now opposes the sale. In a related development, Fischer said Richard Mur- phy, the 52-year-old dip- lomat who Reagan named to succeed Robert Neumann as Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, was flying directly to Jidda from the Philip- pines were he has been Am- bassador since 1978. Fischer acknowledged that the usual practice is for an Ambassador to be con- firmed by the Senate and sworn in before taking up his post. But he said the U.S. places "high priorities" on its relations with Saudi Arabia. "We felt that it was important that we had a representative there right away," Fischer said. Murphy, who was also Ambassador to Mauritania and Syria, has served most of his career in the Middle East. Before becoming an Ambassador he served in posts in Syria, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
