Israel Prepares Agenda
For Soviet Meeting
erusalem (JTA) — Prime
Minister Shimon Peres and
Deputy Prime Minister Yitz-
hak Shamir told the Cabinet
last Sunday that the Israeli
delegates to the Helsinki
talks with the Soviet Union
would place at the top of the
agenda the demand that
Soviet Jews who wish to
emigrate should be allowed to
do so.
Preparations for the Hel-
sinki talks has been preoc-
cupying Israeli leaders since
the announcement was made
In a statement, Peres said,
"We're not getting overly ex-
cited. But this is another kind
of step in the direction of the
breakup of the reservations
about contacts with Israel, in
the direction of development
of stability, and I certainly
appreciate this.
"We want cultural ties,
economic ties, commercial
ties. The Russians also want
to participate in an interna-
tional conference which will
open if negotiations between
us and the Arabs get under-
way.
"We do not oppose their
(the Soviets) participation in
the opening, on the condition
that they establish full
diplomatic relations with us,
and with the hope that they
will stop taking ohe-sided
stands on the Middle East."
Shamir, however, initially
strongly opposed an interna-
tional conference on the
Mideast. "An international
conference that will try to
determine the future of our
people and of the region can-
not bring peace," Shamir told
Jewish students here a day
after the leaders of Egypt and
Jordan issued a joint state-
ment in Alexandria favoring
an international conference.
Shamir stressed that he op-
posed an international con-
.
ference whether or not it was
attended by the USSR.
"Israel cannot agree to any
attempt to impose solutions
from the outside on the par-
ties to the conflict," he said.
"The solutions must come
from within the region, and
by direct negotiations."
"However, Shamir added,
"a superpower such as the
Soviet Union can influence
developments in the Mideast
by acting in a .responsible
manner, by publicly support-
ing the peace process and by
refraining from providing
support to aggressive regimes
and terrorist organizations."
In another development in
Washington, D.C., the Union
of Councils for Soviet Jews
(UCSJ) urged Israel not to
negotiate any agreement with
the Soviet Union that does
not also provide for the
freedom of Soviet Jewry.
"Obviously, the Soviets
want to resume resume rela-
tions with Israel very badly
so they can become involved
in the Mideast peace process,"
Morey Schapira, the UCSJ's
president, said. "But Israel
should stand firm and require
freedom for Soviet Jews as
part of any agreement."
The USCJ statement called
for the improved treatment of
Jews in the USSR as well as
increased emigration. It
quoted a statement by Natan
(Anatoly) Shcharansky in
Jerusalem in which the
former prisoner of conscience
said "a demand of serious
change " in the Soviet policy
toward Jews must be a "pre-
condition" for negotiations.
"We must remember that
when there were relations
with the Soviet Union, it had
no positive influence on
emigration." Shcharansky
said.

Israel Barred From
Chess Olympics
Somserset, N.J. (JTA) —
The United States Chess
Federation will send a team to
the 1986 International Chess
Olympics in Dubai, United
Arab Emirates — from which
Israel's team has been barred
— but will insist on an end to
such exclusions and will walk
out of the tournament if its
demand is not met, it was
disclosed last Sunday.
The decision both to par-
ticipate in the tournament
and to raise the issue at the
meetings of the Federation
Internationale des Echecs
(FIDE) that will take place
during the • tournament in
November was adopted as a
compromise after more than
two hours of debate at the
U.S. Federation's convention
•
here, according to Glenn
Petersen, a regional vice presi-
dent of the American chess
body.
Commenting on the U.S.
Federation's decision, Morris
Abram, chairman of the Con-
ference of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organiza-
tions, said, "While we would
have preferred that the
American team boycott the
tournament because Israel
has been barred, we recognize
the good will effort of the U.S.
Federation to deal with the
matter, and to make clear
that it will quit the games if
its demand to prevent any
future recurrence of the bar
against Israel is not satis-
fied."
