In a prepared statement, Shultz said, "As we all know, there has been wide- spread fighting recently throughout Beirut and its suburbs. At present we are advised by the Lebanese central authorities that ef- fective measures are being taken to restore order.

Shultz said "a historic problem in Lebanon has been to find a formula for reconciliation of the various communal and congres- sional groups. President Gemayel has been working hard to do just that throughout his tenure in office. He issued a call for key Lebanese leaders to join in a dialogue aimed at con- stituting a new national ap- proach to reconciliation and unity." Shultz said that the U.S. "firmly supports this ef- fort" and that it is consis- tent with Presidpnt Reagan's firm policy of support for an indepen- dent Lebanon, and with- drawal of all foreign forces with security ar- rangements for Israel's BRANCH BASH II SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1983 1-5 p.m. Jimmy Prentis Morris Branch Jewish Community Center 15110 W.

However, he de- scribed Reagan's special envoy Robert McFarlane and Ambassador Richard Fairbanks as "very compe- tent people, doing an out- standing job, and handling the situation well." Shultz, asked about the implications of Premier Be- gin's resignation, declared that in his dealings with the premier, he found him to be "a person of clear strong- mind, vigorous, he was a gentlemanly person to deal with, and I wish him well." Shultz disclosed that last spring "we were close to a Palestinian participation" on negotiations "that would have reinvigorated the negotiating process that failed at the last minute, but perhaps we can bring it back."

Shultz added, 'We intend to help President Gemayel in his new initiative in every way possible through our own efforts and through cooperation in the multina- tional force with France, Italy and Great Britain." He also said, "We call upon the international community in general and particularly on Syria, which has the largest army in Lebanon, to respect and support this process." The Secretary of State af- firmed that the United States will continue to pro- vide training and support for the Lebanese armed forces and for the MNF and the U.S. Marine contingent of that force, as well as active diplomatic efforts. Shultz stated emphatically, "Let no one doubt that if at- tacked, the Marines will take care of themselves with vigor." Shultz said that "the problems of Lebanon, important in their own right, are at the same time apart of the greater ques- tion of peace for the Mid- dle East." He said that President Reagan's Sept. 1, 1982 peace initiative is still valid and "a work- able basis for negotiat- ing." He added that "any serious efforts in the days ahead, must return to these fundamentals" of the Camp David accords and UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. During the question- and-answer session, Shultz stated that the U.S. has "no plan under consideration at the moment to change the size or role or mission of the multinational force or the United States Marine con- tingent of it . . . when the process of withdrawal of foreign forces from Lebanon really gets under way, ques- tions can be raised about changes in the rale the MNF r9'," ..=-• • I t' • \ 4 ‘;' ' ',J. • LOS ANGELES — The Youth Exchange Service (YES) is looking for Ameri- can families who are in- terested in hosting a high school exchange student from Europe, the Orient, South America or Mexico during the 1983-1984 school year.
