accused the United States
this week of acting against

Jerusalem of hypocrisy. The
Consulate frequently de-
clares its desire to achieve
peace but at the same time

Doudin, who has been in-
vited by several Con-
gressmen to visit the U.S.,
was reacting to a reported
statement by the State De-
partment that talks with
him would not advance ef-
forts to bring Jordan and
the Palestinians into peace
negotiations. He said the
Americans had put him at
