Jewish Marine Killed in Lebanon
(Continued from Page 1)
control of that area was re-
sponsible for the shooting.
There have now been
six Marines killed in Leba-
non in recent weeks.
Robert McFarlane's ap-
pointment Monday to re-
place William Clark as
assistant to President Rea-
gan for national security af-
fairs came as the Adminis-
tration was beginning a
high-level review of the
U.S. policy in the Middle
East.
After Reagan an-
nounced the appoint-
ment at the White House,
McFarlane, who has been
special Middle East
envoy since July 22, told
reporters he believes in
continuity in U.S.
Mideast policy. But he
noted that he saw his job
as "not to be an advocate,
but to be a coordinator."
At the same time, he gave
some clues as to where that
policy is going when he was
asked whether the Ad-
ministration was concerned
about the Palestinian
people. He replied that the
concern was reflected in
Reagan's Sept. 1, 1982,
Mideast peace initiative.
"The history of the Palesti-
nian community like that of
the Lebanese is a very sad
history," McFarlane said.
He said there were a
"number of ideas in pro-
gress" for improving the
conditions of the Palesti-
nians in Lebanon and on the
West Bank. While not going
into details, he said the

Palestinians are in a state of
"flux" and the U.S. "has op-
portunities it has not had
until now." Repeating that
Palestinian • history was
"sad," he declared: "It's time
to stop reading about it and
try to make a little of it."
At the same time,
McFarlane, who has been
deputy assistant for na-
tional security affairs under
Clark, stressed that he be-
lieves in a "strong" U.S.-
Israeli relationship. "I have
always felt that way and I
shall remain to think that
way." He also noted that the
U.S. was "concerned" about
Israel's economic difficul-
ties and would welcome ex-
changes with Israel about
means of helping to allevi-
ate it.
Both Reagan and
McFarlane made clear
the Administration's de-
termination to keep U.S.
Marines in Lebanon de-
spite the casualties they
have suffered. Reagan
said the Marines are
there because it is "vit-
ally important for the se-
curity of the United
States and the Western
world that we do every-
thing we can to further
the peace process in the
Middle East."
Library of Congress Agrees
to Change Jewish Category
The Jewish Librarians
Caucus devoted a recent
issue of its newsletter to a
lengthy, and now successful
battle to have the Library of
Congress stop using the
term "Jewish Question" as
one of its subject headings.
According to the newslet-
ter:
"Although long consid-
ered offensive by Jews
throughout the world, the
subject heading 'Jewish
Question' has continued to
be used by the Library of
Congress. The anger at the
continuing use of the term
was exacerbated by the
connotation it received dur-

While saying the "loss of
life is unacceptable,"
McFarlane said that since
the U.S. forces entered
Lebanon there. have been
"some" who have by
"threatening, killing," hope
to "cause us to pull out.
Their expectations are
wrong."
He expressed high hopes
that negotiations in
Leagnon will bring
progress toward national
reconciliation because
he said the various
groups realize that they
must compromise since
the "alternatives to recon-
ciliation are worse."
A major question raised
by the McFarlane appoint-
ment is whether it will lead
to a renewal of the public
squabbles over the Middle
East, as well as other issues,
between Secretary of State
George Shultz and Defense
Secretary Caspar Wein-
berger or whether McFar-
lane will be able to control
this in his job as "coor-
dinator" of policy.
Shultz reportedly has
supported McFarlane's ap-
pointment, as did Clark,
while it had been opposed by
Weinberger and Central In-
telligence Director William
Casey.

" 'The final solution to
the Jewish question' was
Hitler's description for
the murder of one-third
of the Jewish people.
"Over the years, many
people have objected, with-
out effect, to the use of this
heading. As the Bnai Brith
Anti-Defamation League
noted in a letter dated May
20, 1983, `. . the objections
to the subject heading
`Jewish Question' as well as
to certain other subject
headings regarding
Jewish-Americans, have
been discussed in great de-
tail in a number of articles
and papers.'
"The Library of Congress
did not respond to the many
objections. That is, until re-
cently. Through a concerted
effort on the part of the
Jewish Librarians' Caucus
of the American Library
Association, the Bnai Brith
Anti-Defamation League,
the Ethnic Materials In-
formation Exchange Round
Table, and involved indi-
viduals, the Library of Con-
gress has agreed to delete
the subject heading."
