Ever since the beginning of
the dispute between us, we
have urged our Palestinian
neighbors to reach an
accommodation.
For all these years, our
hand remained outstretched
in vain, and the reply we
heard was the echo of our own
voices.
When President Sadat came
to Jerusalem, the course of
history for all of us was
changed. He found Israel will-
ing, open and as courageous
as he was in the pursuit of
peace. The world looked on in
wonder as a conflict, which
had seemed insoluble for more
than thirty years, turned solu-
ble in less than one.
Between the forty-eight mil-
lion Egyptians and four mil-
lion Israelis there is today
peace...This treaty survived
tests none of us foresaw. Its
full implementation is a chal-
lenge and a hope.

THE MEM STEP

Sunday 12-5
Thurs. & Friday
'til 9 p.m.

We turn to our Egyptian
friends with the invitation to
breathe life into our relations
and to raise our peoples'
spirits; let us not allow gloom
and doom to overshadow our
worthiest accomplishment; let
us make our peace a success
— a source of encouragement
to others.
The most complex issue —
yet the most promising — in-
volves our neighbor to the
east: the Hashemite Kingdom
of Jordan. An issue confined
not only to borders, it reaches
across peoples and states. Its
settlement should also corn-
prise the resolution of the
Palestinian issue.
Middle East archives are
filled with negotiating plans,
but its diplomacy is short of
negotiating partners. Thus,
this is the hour for decisions
and statesmanship.
I invite this organization to
depart from the tired and
timid norm and to fulfill its
destiny as enshrined in its
walls, by ushering the parties
to the conflict into a new
diplomatic initiative.
Let all parties to the dis-
pute facilitate a new phase in
Arab-Israeli peace by renoun-
cing — and putting an end to
— the use of violence.
This new initiative should
be based on the following
principles:
1. The objective of these
negotiations is to reach peace
treaties between Israel and
the Arab states, as well as to
resolve the Palestinian issue.
2. Neither party may im-
pose preconditions.
3. Negotiations are to be
based on United Nations
Security Council resolutions
242 and 338 and on willingness
to entertain suggestions pro-
posed by other participants.
4. Negotiations are to be
conducted directly, between
states.
5. If deemed necessary,
these negotiations may be in-

itiated with the support of an
international forum, as agreed
upon by the negotiating
states.
6. This gathering can take
place before the end of this
year, in Jordan, Israel or any
location, as mutually agreed
upon. We will be pleased to at-
tend an opening meeting in
Amman.
7. Negotiations between
Israel and Jordan are to be
conducted between an Israeli
delegation on the one hand
and a Jordanian — or a Jor-
danian-Palestinian — delega-
tion on the other, both corn-
prising delegates that repre-
sent peace, not terror.
Aware of the nature of this
undertaking, I propose the
following as a possible blue-
print for implementation:
• Negotiations may pro-
duce intermediate as well as
permanent arrangements.
They may deal with the
demarcation of boundaries as
well as the resolution of the
Palestinian problem. The
Camp David Accords provide
a possible basis for the attain-
ment of these objectives.

• The permanent members
of the Security Council may
be invited to support the in-
itiation of these negotiations.
It is our position that those
who confine their diplomatic
relations to one side of the
conflict, exclude themselves
from such a role.

• This forum, while not be-
ing a substitute for direct
negotiations, can offer sup-
port for them. Indeed, nothing
should undermine the direct
nature of these negotiations.
• In order to expedite this
process, the agenda, pro-
cedure and international sup-
port for negotiations can be
discussed and agreed upon at
a meeting of small working
teams to be convened within
thirty days.

Mr. President, distinguish-
ed delegates, let us put this
process into motion. Let us
shield this flickering hope
from threatening winds. Let
us not consign this moment of
hope to the fate of missed
opportunities.
Let us look our younger
generation in the eye and vow
to do all that is humanly
possible so that never again
will a young boy die in a war
we failed to prevent.
The sons of Abraham have
become quarrelsome; but re-
main family nonetheless.
Destined to live side-by-
side, from time immemorial
till the end of time; sharing a
past of mutual enrichment;
struggling through a present
of suspicion and conflict;
holding to a separate — yet
common — desire for a better
future — they have reached
yet another moment of truth.
We are ready to enter it
with no hesitation.
