we do not understand the
real risk he is running or
that we might not support
him in facing these risks.
Such a posture is common
sense as well as good pol-
icy."
Hughes' remarks were
made in commenting on
the action by the House
Foreign Affairs Commit-
tee's subcommittee on
Europea and the Middle
East.
While approving the Ad-
ministration's request for
$115 million for Jordan, the
subcommittee stipulated
that Jordan could not buy
advanced weapons from the
U.S. unless President Re-
agan certified that it was
ready to enter negotiations

with Israel and to recognize
Israel's right to exist.
Hughes said no weapons
request had been received
from Jordan. However,
while Jordan has been
known to be seeking to buy
U.S. planes and missiles
since January 1982, it has
held up an official request
because of Congressional
opposition.
"Jordan does accept Is-
rael's right to exist,"
Hughes maintained. "It is
obvious that Jordan has
been doing everything it
can to move the peace proc-
ess forward," he said. He
noted that Hussein accepted
President Reagan's "peace
proposals" as enunciated in
the President's Sept. 1 Mid-
dle East peace initiative.
Meanwhile, Hughes
maintaiiied that
Reagan's peace initiative
is still alive despite Jor-
dan's announcement that
it will not enter talks. He
said that since then, Re-
agan has talked with
Kings Fand of Saudi
Arabia and Hassan of
Morocco, President
Hosni Mubarak of Egypt
and the Sultan of Oman,
Qaboos Bin, in addition
to King Hussein.
But, Hughes said, the
U.S. feels the time for talk-
ing is over. "We feel there
has been enough talks" and
the issue "has been dis-
cussed sufficiently," he said.
He added, "What is
needed is decisions from the
Arabs which clearly support
the entry of King Hussein
with representative Pales-
tinians" into negotiations.
Hughes stressed that only
through "direct negotia-
tions with Israel will the
Palestinian people receive
their legitimate rights."
Hughes said the State
Department
"remains
committed to the
President's budget pro-
posals" despite an increase
in aid to Israel by the House
Middle East subcommittee.

The subcommittee in-
creased economic aid to
Israel for fiscal 1984 from
the $785 million recom-
mended by the Adminis-
tration to $850 million, all
a grant. The grant por-
tion of the $1.7 billion in
military aid to Israel was
increased to $850 million
from the $550 million the
Administration re-
quested.
"There is no chance for
peace based upon the con-
sent of the. PLO," Aridor
told an Israel Bond Dinner
at the Pierre Hotel here. "So
let us go back to the Camp
David accords and ask Jor-
dan to join the negotiations
under the framework of
Camp David," the Israeli
Minister said, adding that
in order to achieve peace
Hussein should show the
courage of the late Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat.

The dinner also served as
the occasion for honoring
David Zysman for his 35

years of dedicated service to
Israel. Zysman, one of the
founders of the Israel Bonds

in 1951, is leaving the
organization to accept the
position of vice president of
Yeshiva University.
In a related develop-
ment, Dan Meridor, sec-
retary of the Israel
Cabinet, rejected the
argument that the Israeli
settlements on the West
Bank are a barrier to
Jordan and other Arab
countries agreeing to
negotiate with Israel.
Meridor, in a discussion
sponsored by the American

Enterprise Institute (AEI),
said that the United States
offered King Hussein of
Jordan to "put Heavy pres-
sure on Israel to freeze the
settlements if Jordan
entered the negotiations.
But when Hussein an-
nounced that he would not
join the talks, he blamed the
Palestine Liberation
Organization, not Israel,
because the king considers
the PLO a "greater danger"
to his regime than Israel
Meridor declared.
