"Beyond the suffering of
the Palestinian people lies a
complex of political prob-
lems which must be addres-
sed if the Middle East is to
know peace."
Under questioning
from Senators, Shultz
said that he regretted
that Israel went into
Lebanon, since he noted
the cease-fire established
by President Reagan's
special envoy Philip

Habib a year ago seemed
to be holding. He noted
that the Israeli action did
not address the major is-
sue, which was the lack of
progress on the Palesti-
nian problem.
He said that the "tre-
mendous amount of
bloodshed" in Lebanon is
appalling to him and others.
"There's got to be a better
way," he said. "Let us try to
find it with more of a sense
of urgency than we have

He said that "the chal-

under the Camp David
framework is to go
ahead with the autonomy
talks. "For these talks to
succeed, representatives
of the Palestinians them-
selves must participate in
the negotiating process."

He noted that when
Bechtel complied with the
Arab boycott position there
was no U.S. position.
On Tuesday, Shultz
said that he has no
specific differences on
the Middle East with the
Reagan Administration.

tial campaign that his

ous thought but was just
a reply to a reporter's
question.
"I will be able to make
myself comfortable in this
area with the President,"
Shultz said.
In reply to a question
from Sen. Rudy Boschwitz
(R-Minn.) Shultz said he ag-
reed with the President that
Israel is a "strategic asset."
He said that the U.S. has to
provide for a secure Israel.
Shultz stressed, however,
that "we weaken Israel"
when, in strengthening its
security, there is no parallel
effort to bring about a set-
tlement of the Middle East
issues.
Boschwitz said he disag-
reed with Shultz that the
Palestinian problem is at
the center of Middle East
problems. Boschwitz main-
tained that it is not the un-
derlying and only problem.
Shultz replied that
while there are many
problems in the Middle
East, unless there is a set-
tlement of the Palestinian
issue there are no pros-
pects to achieve peace in
that area.
Shultz was unanimously
approved by the Senate
Foreign Relations Commit-
tee on Wednesday and is ex-
pected to gain early ap-
proval from the full Senate.
