"What he accomplished was the vital first step which made it possible for launching a fresh start in the quest for peace, not only for Lebanon, but for Israel and its Arab neighbors, as well," Reagan said. Habib, who Reagan called a "great American," replied that while the situation in Lebanon "remains ex- tremely tenuous," he be- lieved that "it is going to stay on track, partly be- cause of the initiative you (Reagan) most recently took with respect to peace in the Middle East." The medal, the highest civilian award in the U.S., was given within an hour after Reagan's return from vacation in Califor- nia. The Reagans brought back with them from California Habib's wife, Marjorie, who had not seen her husband since he went to Lebanon in June.

Habib, who was born in a Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, noted that "It was particularly fitting, consid- ering that my mother and my father are from Leba- non, that their son had something to do with win- ning a bit of peace for that harried land." Habib also had praise for his "right-hand man," Mor- ris Draper, deputy assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern and South Asian af- fairs, who has accompanied Habib on all his Mideast missions. Draper is ex- pected to return to Lebanon to carry out the continued negotiations for the with- drawal of Syrian and Israeli forces. The State Department was not sure whether Habib would be continu- ing his negotiating role but indicated he may re- turn to Beirut for the in- augural of Lebanese President Bashir Gemayal. The ceremony Tuesday was attended not only by the Cabinet and White House and State De- partment officials but also by many people who dealt with the Mideast problem in past Adminis- trations: Robert Strauss and Sol Linowitz, who were President Carter's Mideast negotiators; Joseph Sisco, a former undersecretary of state; Harold Saunders, a former assistant secretary Former Soviet Chess Champion Seized in Protest MOSCOW — Former Russian national chess champion Boris Gulko and his wife, Anna Akhdarumova, were ar- rested this week for staging a demonstration outside the opening of an international chess tournament. The couple, who have been denied permission to emigrate to Israel, held up a sign outside the hotel where the players had gathered. The sign read, in both Rus- sian and English, "Let us go to Israel." Gulko was national champion in 1977 and his wife was national women's champion in 1976. He has been allowed to play only once since they applied to emigrate.
