Congressional delegation and HUD
officials, and locally by Oak Park

It the facts," he could not comment

specifically about the Israeli action.
He then added: "But as a matter of
principle, it is our view it is legiti-
mate self-defense to respond appro-
priately to acts of terrorism."
Rudman noted that the the
United States understands that "this
action was not intended as an offen-
sive act against Tunisia."
The spokesman said that Israel
used U.S.-acquired equipment on the
raid, but he could not say what kind.
But he stressed that "we were not
