measures in the direction of
Israel's security demands.
There is, in fact, a basic dif-
ference between the Israeli
and American approaches
to the Lebanon situation.
Israel insists on a bind-
ing agreement with Leba-

peace treaty at this time,
and on specific security

Reagan pledged,
This administration is
prepared to take all
necessary measures to
guarantee the security of
Israel's northern borders
in the aftermath of the
complete withdrawal of
the Israel army."
But White House deputy
spokesman Larry Speakes
said this was not a new offer
but a restatement of the
President's policy since the
negotiations in Lebanon
began. When asked
whether this would mean
U.S. Marines would be
stationed on the Lebanese-
Israel border, Speakes re-
stated the Administration's
position that any enlarge-
ment of the Marine mission
would only come in consul-
tation with other members
of the multinational force in
Beirut.

In his speech, which only
devoted three'paragraphs to
the Middle East, Reagan
reiterated his commitment
to his Sept. 1 peace initia-
tive and repeated his appeal
to the Arab states to
negotiate with Israel.
"Today, I repeat my call to
the Arab world to accept the
reality of Israel and the
reality that peace and jus-
tice are to be gained only
through direct negotia-
tions," the President said.
"King Hussein should be
supported in his effort to
bring together a joint
Jordanian-Palestinian
team to negotiate the future
of West Bank, Gaza and
Jerusalem."
Reagan stressed that
"a secure and lasting
peace for Israel and its
Arab neighbors, includ-
ing a resolution of the
Palestinian problem that
satisfies that people's
legitimate rights, is a
fundamental objective of
our foreign policy." He
said his peace initiative
was "designed to accel-
erate and broaden the
negotiating process
begun at Camp David.
That process fulfilled the
principle of exchanging
occupied territory for
peace between Israel and
Egypt."
On Lebanon, Reagan
urged, "Syria, the PLO and
Israel to withdraw their
forces from Lebanon in the
shortest possible time" so
that "country can once
again be an independent
sovereign state." He
stressed that the "continued
occupation of Lebanon by
these forces can only serve
the interests of those who
wish to undermine the
cause of peace."
Reagan added that "True
peace can only evolve
through freely-negotiated
agreements, not solutions
imposed by force." While
there was no explanation
for this last point, it seemed
to be aimed at Israel's effort
to achieve a normalization
of relations with Lebanon.
Shultz denied that U.S.
policy in Lebanon is the
"speedy withdrawal of
Israeli forces." It is, he
said, "speedy withdrawal
of all forces in a manner
that's consistent with the
security needs of Israel,
recognizing the implica-
tions of southern Leba-
non in the historic de-
stabilization effect on Is-
rael, and the emergence
of a Lebanon that can
govern itself."
Shultz agreed that there
are problems between the
various factions in Lebanon
which might increase if the
foreign forces left. But he
noted that these "problems
have been less evident
where the foreign troops
have not been present and
where the Lebanese armed
forces have been responsi-
ble for security."
• On other matters, Shultz
said he was "optimistic"
that King Hussein of Jor-
dan will be able to join the
Middle East peace talks and
rejected the view that one of
the reasons Hussein was
hesitant was fear that Saudi
Arabia would cut off funds
to the Hashemite kingdom.
Last week, the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith criticized "recent ac-
tions and statements by cer-
'
tain members of the Reagan
Administration" as being
"inconsistent with United
States interests and funda-
mental policies in the Mid-
dle East."
In a statement unanim-
ously adopted by its Na-
tional Executive Commit-
tee, the ADL said:
"The Reagan Adminis-
tration started with a clear
view of Israel as our most
dependable ally in the Mid-
dle East. Since that time, we
have come to wonder
whether some Administra-
tion officials continue to
share President Reagan's
policies and beliefs."
The statement singled
out actions by Secretary of
Defense Caspar W. Wein-
berger as an example of
"chipping away at the
friendly and cooperative re-
lations which have existed
with Israel." The statement
also declared that "pres-
sures on Israel to withdraw
and without tangible steps
toward the normalization of
Lebanese-Israeli relations
are counterproductive and
misguided."
