as their base."
He added, that the U.S.
also knows Israel has no
territorial claims on Leba-
non and wants to withdraw
its forces. "But Israel's secu-
rity requirements to pre-
; vent Lebanon from again
becoming a terrorist base
must be met," Shamir de-
clared.
A Foreign Ministry offi-
cial called Reagan's state-
ment "most unfortunate"
because "the notion that our
forces are in occupatidn is
erroneous because our ac-
tion against the Palestine
Liberation Organization
was an act of legitimate
self-defense."
Shamir claimed that
Reagan's remarks came at a
time when Israel and Leba-
non were "close to agree-
ment," implying that an
agreement may now be
hampered. Shamir did not
elaborate.

Moshe Arens Forecasts Israel-Lebanon
Agreement Will Be Reached Soon

TEL AVIV (JTA) — De-
ferise Minister Moshe Arens
predicted that "Israel and
Lebanon will soon reach
agreement." He said that
"what is most needed now is
patience to facilitate
negotiations."
Arens, addressing the
Likud Knesset Faction,
claimed that the war in
Lebanon brought "tremen-
dous achievements for Is-
rael."
He mentioned "the de-
struction of the Palestine
Liberation Organizatio'n's
`state withint a state,' " and
"the defeat of the Syrian air
force." Arens also observed
that "this is the first war Is-
rael fought which has been
followed immediately by
negotiations."
Likud faction leader
Sarah Doron assailed cri-
tics of the Lebanese war
who are urging soldiers
not to accept campaign
medals. She said this was
"an unpatriotic act which
smacks of disloyalty to
the country and an at-
tempt to question the
legitimacy of the gov-
ernment." -
Eleven officers ' and
soldiers received medals of
valor for exceptional brav-
ery during the war in Leba-
non at the president's resi-
dence in Jerusalem Thurs-
day. An additional 45 'offi-
cers and men were pre-
sented with certificates of
honorble mention. Twelve
of the certificates were
awarded posthumously to
the families of soldiers kil-
led in battle.
In Jerusalem, senior
members of the Israeli,
Lebanese and American
negotiating teams met in
Khalde, Lebanon Tuesday
in an effort to make pro-
gress on unresolved issues.
Israeli sources said the
smaller format and infor-
mal nature of the session
was thought to be helpful.
But the meeting was held
