An Exclusive Interview
With President Reagan
Reagan tells our White
House correspondent how
he feels about Qadhafi,
terrorism and problems of
the Middle East.
BY TRUDE B. FELDMAN
The Jewish News
White House Correspondent
Washington, D.C. — President
Reagan rejects the argument that
the absence of a Palestinian home-
land is the basic cause of the recent
terrorist attacks supported by
Libya's Colonel Muammar Qadhafi.
The President believes that ter-
rorists who attack innocent people
the world over use the homeland
"excuse" since they don't want peace.
He said there would have to be
"great changes" in Col. Qadhafi be-
fore the United States would even
consider a dialogue with him.
In an exclusive interview — the
first since the terrorist acts at the
Vienna and Rome airports — the
President also made the following
points:
• The possibility exists that the
Soviet Union could participate in fu-
ture Mideast peace talks.
• He would like to visit the
Middle East before he leaves the
presidency.
• He expects to keep his promise
to Jordan's King Hussein to do "ev-
erything necessary" to ensure that
Congress doesn't block the arms sale
to Jordan.

refrain from a dialogue with the
Palestine Liberation Organization
(PLO) until it recognizes Israel's
right to exist, is still his policy.
• He would welcome a Sadat-
like visit to Jerusalem by another
Arab leader.
During the 25-minute one-on-

Oval' Office, the President spoke in

Shultz Under Fire,
Israel Is Worried'
But the Secretary of State,
who has emerged as a
strong voice for Israel, is
not inclined to resign.
BY WOLF BLITZER
The Jewish News Washington Correspondent
Secretary of State George Shultz
is facing mounting criticism--from
rightwing conservative supporters of
President Ronald Reagan. They have
waged an intense battle in recent
months to try to force him out of the
Administration. Simply put, they be-
lieve that he is too "moderate" on
many foreign policy issues, espe-
cially in connection with the Soviet
Union.
For these conservatives who are
very loyal to Reagan, it is politicaly
much easier to complain about
Shultz than about the President,
who has consistently supported' the
Secretary's stance on most foreign
policy issues. The conservatives say
they primarily want Shultz out be-
cause of his clearly impressive clout
with Reagan and other senior U.S.
policymakers; especially the power-
ful White House Chief of Staff,
Donald Regan. Since succeeding
