20 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1988
had with the Labor leader
who was prime minister at
the time.
- "He (Rapaport) confirmed
the arrangement with Peres
to the effect that Israel will
receive somewhere between
$65-$70 million a year for ten
years out of the conclusion of
the project," the memo said.
"What was also indicated to
me, and which would be
denied everywhere, is that a
portion of the funds will go
directly to Labor," Wallach
added in his memo.
Interviewed last Sunday on
CBS-TV's Face The Nation,"
Peres said he would have
"thrown out of the window"
anyone who offered a bribe to
the Labor Party or to him per-
sonally. In the interview, he
admitted he wrote Meese a
letter on Sept. 19, 1985, in
support of the pipeline and
received one from the At-
torney General on Oct. 7. The
letters were among the
documents released.
In his letter, Peres said he
"would go a long way to help
(the pipeline) out. But then
discretion is demanded on our
part."
Peres wrote Meese that "I
have asked my friend Bruce
(Rapaport) and Bob (Wallach)
to let you know the whole
story?'
Peres further said in the let-
ter that he would discuss the
pipeline with Secretary of
State George Shultz when
Peres was in Washington in
October.
However, Meese wrote back
that Shultz has disqualified
himself from the issue
because the major contractor
for the project was the Bechtel
Group Inc., for which Shultz
had worked before becoming
Secretary of State. Meese
recommended that discus-
sions be held with Robert
McFarlane, then national
security adviser. McFarlane's
successor John Poindexter
later killed the project.
The Soviet Jewry issue was
mentioned at the start of
Wallach's memo. He noted
that Edgar Bronfman, presi-
dent of the World Jewish Con-
gress, in talks with Soviet
leader Mikhail Gorbachev
was told to inform Peres that
Soviet Jewish emigres would
be allowed to fly directly to
Israel.
Wallach recalled an earlier
memo to Meese in which he
cited disputes between Israel
and American Jews because
the majority of Soviet Jews go
to the United States rather
than Israel.
He also said that Rapaport
"has been financing private
polls for quite a long time in
Israel on behalf of Labor-
Peres. They demonstrate an
Meese: For his eyes only?
increasing strength for Labor
and the high probability of
elections, no later than March
1986."
The election was not held
and the Labor-Likud unity
government continues with
elections expected sometime
this year.
The memo further notes
that according to Rapaport,
Peres stressed that the
release of the Rev. Benjamin
Weir, once a hostage in south
Lebanon, "was as a result of
the State of Israel, and no one
else. He (Peres) indicated that
they would also arrange for
the release of the remaining
The Rev. Weir was released
after the first shipment of
missiles by Israel to Iran.
This was the beginning of the
U.S. arms-for-hostages in-
itiative to Iran, abandoned
when the hostages were not
released.
"There is a feeling that the
U.S. 'owes' and that the ac-
complishment of this project,
as outlined in my memo, is
appropriate," Wallach wrote.
He added that Peres felt the
United States should be doing
more to facilitate the pipeline
since "it is so obviously in the
interest of everyone involved."
Peres said in Nablus this
week and during the CBS in-
terview that he believes the
pipeline would help the peace
effort in the Middle East and
assure Israel of oil supplies.
USSR Contrary
Palm Beach, Fla. — The
Soviet Union appears to be
acting "contrary" to
assurances they gave at last
year's summit in Washington
on removing obstacles to
emigration of Soviet Jews, ac-
cording to Richard Schifter,
assistant secretary of state for
human rights and human-
itarian affairs.
