_ Fakir, 10 23,1982 1 THE ETRg1 )EWI$H 11114 PLO Representative Sat in on Meeting WASHINGTON (JTA) — The State Department ad- mitted Wednesday that an official had met "inadver- tently" with a PLO official, Hatam Husseini, director of the Palestine Information Office of Washington. Spokesman Dean Fischer stressed that the meeting at the State Department did not imply any change in U.S. policy toward the PLO. Husseini revealed in an ap- pearance Tuesday night on ABC-TV's "Nightline" pro- gram that he had met with an Administration official. Fischer explained that Husseini accompanied Fand Kawasma, mayor of Hebron, and Mohammed Milhem of Halhul, when they met with Elliott Ab- rams, assistant secretary of state for human rights. He said that the department of- ficial who admitted Hus- seini did not know him and thought he was part of the travelling party accom- panying the two mayors. But they learned of his iden- tity before the two mayors were to meet with Nicholas Veliotes, assistant secre- tary of state of Near Eastern and South Asian affairs and he was barred from that meeting. Fischer said that the Palestine Information Office, which opened in 1978, is registered with the Justice Department as a foreign agent for the PLO. He said as long as it com- plies with all U.S. laws and is directed by a U.S. citizen, or a legally resident alien, it can operate. Husseini is be- lieved to be a naturalized U.S. citizen. survivor's Benefits Subject of Appeal LOS ANGELES (JTA) — Bet Tzedek Legal Services has announced it will ap- peal a recent federal court decision here upholding "a precedent-setting" decision by the Social Security Ad- ministration (SSA) ter- minating Supplementary Security Income (SSI) to a disabled Holocaust survivor because she gets a small monthly restitution pay- ment from the West Ger- man government. Terry Friedman, Bet Tzedek Legal Services executive director, in an- nouncing the public service legal agency's plan to ap- peal the decision next month, said Bet Tzedek would pursue the most vig- orous appeal possible, as well as work strongly for passage of a bill introduced recently in the House of Representatives by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Cal.) in response to the plight of Felicia Grunfeder and simi- lar Holocaust victims re- ceiving restitution pay- ments. SSI payments are made to poor persons who receive too little or no Social Security payments. Rep. Waxman's bill, in- troduced•last May, would Blast at Galilee Ammo Dump Injures 15 7-- TEL AVIV (JTA) — Army engineers and border police scoured the fields within a six-mile radius of an ammunition dump in Lower Galilee where an explosion occurred Sunday. Three women in neighboring Arab villages were slightly hurt and a dozen people were treated for shock. The explosion occurred at an ammunition dump near the Golani crossroads half- way between Nazareth and Tiberias. The dump was used to house ammunition, including artillery shells and Katyusha rockets, cap- tured in Lebanon and trucked back to Israel. Engineers believe the explosion was the result of a smoldering cigarette butt or a fire caused by sunlight fil- tered through a glass splinter. Two famous Talmud sages were Rabbi Johanan Hasandelar, a shoemaker, and Rabbi Johanan Napcha, a smith. exclude West German repa- rations in Social Security Administration calcula- tions in determining SSI eligibility for Holocaust survivors. Waxman, who said his bill has 34 co- sponsors so far, introduced it after he learned of the re- classification of Ms. Grun- feder's income status. The SSA declared Ms. Grunfeder's monthly repa- rations payments unearned income, holding it placed her total income above the eligibility limit for SSI. She filed suit when the SSI payments were ended last summer.
