He reported on a private meeting Monday evening with Israeli Prime Minister Menahem Begin in Begin's hotel room in Washington. With Levin also were Senators Spec- ter, Boschwitz, Dole, Bradley, Cohen, Hawkins and Met- zenbaum. Levin also recalled his visit in Lebanon with Lebanese President Elias Sarkis.

We let the situation drift to its present state. Israel has now changed the circumstances so that the conditions of peace once again are at hand.
