THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, January 18, 1985 AL HARRISON LUGGAGE OUTLET Luggage — Business Cases — Small Leather Goods — Handbags U.S. would discuss Mideast with Soviets Washington (JTA) — The United States has told the Soviet Union it would like to discuss the Middle East and other regional is- sues, but no agreement has been made to hold such talks, the State Department said. Department spokesman Ber- nard Kalb said that Secretary of State George Shultz, in his talks with Soviet Foreign Minister An- drei Gromyko in Geneva last week, "noted U.S. interest in hold- ing" such talks, but said an agreement for the talks by Mideast experts from the two countries would have to be scheduled through diplomatic channels. But Kalb stressed that the U.S. still opposed an international con- ference which would include the Palestine Liberation Organiza- tion on the Middle East proposed 1 by the Soviet Union because it be- lieves the best way to achieve peace is direct negotiations be- tween Israel and the Arab states. Kalb, who accompanied Shultz in Geneva, made his debut Mon- ( day as the spokesman at the daily State Department briefing after years of sitting on the opposite side as an NBC and CBS televi- sion reporter. Kalb's comments came after he was questioned about published reports that R. Mark Palmer, de- puty assistant secretary of state for European affairs, went to Is- rael and Egypt last week to tell the two governments that the U.S. and the Soviet Union plan to hold talks on the Mideast. But Kalb said he "understood" that ) Palmer went to Jerusalem and Cairo to brief the two govern- ; meats about the results of the Geneva talks on nuclear dis- armament. The spokesman noted that President Reagan, in his address to the United Nations General Assembly last September, "noted our interest in policy level dis- cussions about regional problems with the Soviets. We would in- clude the Middle East as a possi- ble area of discussion. As the President said — the objectives of such a political dialogue are to help avoid miscalculations, re- duce the potential risk of U.S.- Soviet confrontation and help the people in areas of conflict to find peaceful solutions." Reading from a statement on this issue, Kalb added: "We have continually urged the Soviets to take a constructive approach toward the efforts to find peaceful solutions to regional problems. In this connection, we continue to be- lieve that such an international conference is not a productive ap- proach in the search for peace. "The only realistic path to peace • is direct negotiations among the • parties directly concerned based on UN Security Council Resolu- tions 242 and 338, a proces the U.S. has encouraged in the Camp David accords and President Reagan's Sept. 1, 1982 initiative." .
