Emery Klein, represent-
ing the Campaign's top
leadership, presiding over
the successful Campaign
session Tuesday evening,
made a strong appeal for in-
creased efforts to assure
support for the numerous
local, national and overseas
causes and the United
Jewish Appeal in Israel's
behalf. He pleaded that the
arising economic problems
should not interfere with
this community's tradi-
tional generosity.
Daniel Honigman, wel-
coming the gathered,
stated in his and his
wife's behalf that, this,
the 11th such annual
event in their home, is
an expression of love for
and commitment to Is-
rael."
In recognition of their ef-
forts, Daniel and Suzie Hon-
igman were presented with
an award from the AJCam-
paign leadership.
Co-chairmen Kogan and
Tauber joined in their ap-
peal for unstinted support of
the drive. In their appeal to
the community they urged
large volunteer enrollment
for the Super Sunday appe-
als on Jan. 17.
Judge Avern Cohn,
president of the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation, urged
deepest dedication to the
tasks ahead to assure jus-
tice for Israel.

measure to the current
situation affecting Israel's
decision on the Golan
Heights, stated, "Not anne-
xation but application." He
drew upon the statement of
Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak, who criticized the
Israeli action but neverthe-
less declared determination
to continue with the Camp
David negotiations as the
most significant - in the
entire dispute.
Dr. Sisco remarked that
the Middle East has
changed decisively during
the last three or four years:
the Soviet Union will stay
in Afghanistan, Iran has
crumbled, Iran and Iraq are
fighting, and there was the
untimely assassination of
Anwar Sadat of Egypt.
On the positive side, he
said, is the Israel-Egyptian
peace treaty.
He predicted that Syria
would not go to war over Is-
rael's annexation of the
'Golan Heights. "A one-front
war is not practical" for
Syria, he said, and the Sy-
rians will not take on Israel
without Egypt. "Mubarak
(of Egypt) condemned Be-
gin," Dr. Sisco said, "but the
talks go on. That is most
significant."
Dr. Sisco said the Camp
David Accords represent
a major advance in the
history of the Middle
East. The peace treaty
can only be withdrawn
by Israel and Egypt, and
Sisco believes that pro-
gress will contineu to be
made under the new
president,
Egyptian
Hosni Mubarak. A key,
he said, will be
Mubarak's ability to im-
prove the Egyptian
economy.
He added, "Israel must
maintain the maximum
sensitivity to Egypt's posi-
tion. Mubarak is an Egyp-
tian first, not an Arabist. If
you look at the Arab na-
tional positions, they pay lip
service to the Palestinians
but national interests come
first."
In summarizing U.S.-
Israel relations, Dr. Sisco
said there are strains in
spite of the Israeli-Egyptian
peace treaty. He said he
does not accept the view
that Israel can get along
without the U.S., but Israel
is a strategic ally of the U.S.
He said it is necessary for
both countries to remain
strong, and to persuade the
Western allies that the U.S.
strategically has a global
job to do.
In the Middle East, "We
and Israel must take the
lead in the whole peace
process," he said. "The
U.S. is the only power
that still is acceptable to
b _ oth sides."
"I've never seen Israel
stronger than she is today,
but never with more anx-
iety and insecurity." He
blames this partially on
"U.S. superiority becoming
a policy of parity." He added
that Israel is concerned by
the bruising defeat on the
AWACS sale to Saudi
Arabia, the presence of Sy-
UN Adopts Six Resolutions
Affirming Palestinian Rights
UNITED NATIONS
(JTA) — The General As-
sembly adopted by over-
whelming margins last
week six draft resolutions
calling in various terms for
the reaffirmation of Pales-
tinian Arab rights, includ-
ing the establishment of a
Palestinian state.
The votes concluded an
11-day debate on the
"Palestine Question."
The resolutions were in
line with recommendations
to the General Assembly's
153 member-states, pro-
posed by its committee on
Palestinian rights. The
committee's recom-
mendations emphasized
that the Palestine question
was at the core of the Middle
East conflict and that its
solution must encompass
the establishment of an in-
dependent Palestinian
state.
The committee also de-
clared that participation
by the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization was a
"must" 'in any delibera-
tions, under United Na-
tions sponsorship, on the
Mideast.
Only the United States
and Israel voted against all
six resolutions.

rian missiles in Lebanon
and the U.S. acceptance of
the Fand plan for Middle
East peace.
Dr. Sisco said he agrees
with much that the Reagan
Administration has done in
sending signals to the
Soviet Union. He said Re-
agan is trying to correct an
imbalance in diplomacy.
Commenting further on
Israel's annexation of the
Golan Heights, Dr. Sisco
said Begin would have pre-
ferred to negotiate witiall
Syria, and added that Begir117
has never received the cre-
dit he is due for negotiating
with Sadat.
"I'm not convinced (the
Golan annexation) was
wise from the point of
view of Israel's security.
It doesn't change the ac-
tual situation on the
ground. It does apply Is-
raeli law and will imply
annexation.
"The door is still open to
negotiations providing
there is a reasonable part-
ner to negotiate with."
Dr. Sisco added that Is-
rael will not have peace if it
annexes the West Bank and
Gaza Strip. He said the
West Bank leaders have not
given up the idea of a fair
settlement with Israel.
"They're not anxious to give
up roles of leadership to
those in Damascus and
Amman." He added that the
Palestinians will continue
to bicker until there is
agreement.
He said within the Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion there are some moder-
ate elements that want to
co-exist with Israel, but
some don't, and Arafat does
not want to make the deci-
sion to recognize Israel. Dr.
Sisco said there is no
negotiating partner within
the PLO.
"The PLO is under the
thumb of Damascus," he
said, "and the Fez con-
ference failed because
Damascus refused to par-
ticipate. I wish Begin had
said, 'Look, Saudi
Arabia, does this eight-
point plan recognize Is-
rael or not?'
"Israel could have exposed
the Fand plan in a way that
wouldn't have looked like
categorical rejection."
Dr. Sisco stated that the
U.S. must remain in a posi-
tion of acceptance by both
sides and Israel must re-
member that her number
one audience is America.
He said Syria's great fear
is isolation. She has been
isolated by the Israeli-
Egyptian peace treaty an
would be isolated further b
a Palestinian autonomy
agreement. He said that he
still believes that such an
agreement will come about.
During the question and
answer period that followed
his speech, Dr. Sisco added
that the Golan Heights was
not an issue at this time,
and Israel's action
"weakens our diplomatic
position and Israel's posi-
tion with the U.S.
"Israel's public opinion
problem in the U.S. is criti-
cal," he warned.
