King Hussein was despondent, blaming U.S. inability to influ- ence Israeli policy — even on so small a matter as denial of visas to West Bank Arab leaders wishing to attend a PLO summit. He showed me a letter he sent President Reagan earlier this year pleading for intervention. He says their absence resulted in re- jection of Arafat's authorizing Hussein to negotiate for the Palestinians. Talking softly, sadly, he said there was nothing more he could do.

Southfield, Michigan 48034 Kennedy critical of United States official who praised Syrian role in the Middle East Boston (JTA) — Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) strongly criticized those who say that Syria has been "helpful" in the Middle East, especially when it comes to bringing about peaceful relations between Israel and the Arab states. "The world knows the truth," he told more than 500 Jewish leaders from the United States and Canada attending the 1984 Israel Bond national leadership confer- ence at the Park Plaza Hotel Sun- day. "Syria has been most helpful to tension and terrorism, to Soviet adventurism and to the war in Lebanon. And anyone in our gov- ernment who thinks Syria has been helpful in any other way de- serves to be swiftly helped from office." Kennedy was apparently refer- ring to a statement by Assistant Secretary of State Richard Mur- phy, who told a House Foreign Af- fairs subcommittee last July that Syria was playing a "helpful role" in Lebanon. He was immediately criticized by some of the subcom- mittee members. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations sent a tele- gram to Secretary of State George Shultz also critical of Murphy's statement. Shultz, in his reply, affirmed that Murphy "did not indicate any change in U.S. policy regarding either Lebanon or Syria" and re- called "only too well that Syria obstructed implementation of the May 17 (1983) agreement be- tween Lebanon and Israel, and that Syria's interest and ours were in fundamental conflict dur- ing that period." Shultz added that "at the moment" Syrian interests have led them to support the "same goals" as the U.S., "al- beit for different reasons than our own." Kennedy, in his address to the Israel Bond conference, declared that "The key to peace between Israel and the Arabs has been within reach for many years, and the Arabs could grasp that key at any time Israel is ready now. Let its enemies now take the critical Sen. Edward Kennedy: hits statement on Syria step back from the brink of recur- ring conflict." Kennedy, referring to the new government in Israel, said: "To- day we all share the high hope for the national unity government that has just been approved — that together Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Shamir will achieve a new spirit of cooperation which can make Israel truly invincible in the defense of freedom — and the pursuit of peace." Condemning the Soviets for their actions against Jewish dis- sidents, the Senator declared: "Soviets may shut down classes in Hebrew, or confiscate books of Jewish learning. They may im- prison Zionists, and persecute in- nocent men and women whose only time is that they believe in the God of their fathers. But they can never kill the idea of free- dom." The Senator accepted the Israel Bond Organization's first Harry S. Truman Centennial Award posthumously for his brother, President John F. Kennedy. U.S. Navy gets first Kfir jets Tel Aviv (JTA) — The state- owned Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) Wednesday handed over to the U.S. Navy the first three of 12 Israeli-designed and built Kfir fighters, to be used by the Ameri- cans for training purposes. The dozen aircraft are being leased to the U.S., with the bal- ance of nine planes to be delivered at the rate of three a month from the beginning of next year. The Israeli Kfirs will be used by U.S. Navy pilots to simulate enemy aircraft in training for air battles. According to IAI director Shalom Ariav, the importance of the deal goes far beyond the 70 million dollars in the first stage Israel will receive over the next three years. America's choice and use of the aircraft will make the IAI planes known and ap- preciated throughout the world. The Israeli aircraft designers and builders are now planning con- struction of the new generation Lavie. A team of U.S. navy pilots are in Israel training to use the aircraft, and 15 IAI technicians will be going to the U.S. to help maintain and service the Kfirs there. According to U.S. Naval Cap- tain Ernest Lewis, who heads the American pilots delegation, the Kfir is a "very good plane" which fully answers American require- ments for an aircraft against which American pilots can train in combat tactics.
